--------------------------------
Summary: Simplify OODT RADiX setup: provide pre-configured RADiX
via Vagrant
Key: OODT-676
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OODT-676
Project: OODT
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: radix
Affects Versions: 0.6
Environment: Platform-independent (Vagrant currently supports MacOSX,
Windows, Debian, CentOS)
Reporter: Rishi Verma
Assignee: Rishi Verma
Fix For: 0.7
Hitting the ground running with OODT can be a challenge, that's one of the
reasons RADiX was developed. However, we can make that process even simpler by
providing users with a pre-configured RADiX deployment through the use of
Vagrant virtual machine technology [1].
The benefits:
* Users only need to issue a single command ("vagrant up") to have a full OODT
RADiX deployment running on their machine - no configuration, dependencies, or
modifications required! Tools like JDK, Maven2, etc will be automatically
installed on the Vagrant virtual machine.
* Latest OODT snapshot features will be automatically provisioned for use by
RADiX. In other words, if users want to use a RADiX version that has not yet
been tagged to a released OODT version, they can use this proposed tool to
automatically use a snapshot with no extra effort.
* Reproducible and reusable RADiX development environment for all users. New
projects, demo configurations, etc can all benefit by having a VM created
automatically and consistently.
Suggested approach:
* New top-level OODT directory titled "vagrant", containing sub-folders with
more specific development environment configurations
* Start with a single Vagrant dev environment supporting the automated set up
of the latest trunk version of RADiX. Add more as separate JIRA issues
