Eric Yang commented on HADOOP-10772: ------------------------------------ Prefix directory is probably better default to either /usr/lib/hadoop or /opt/apache/hadoop. Service users may need to also include useradd command in pre-install or post-uninstall script to ensure existence of hdfs and mapreduce users. Bigtop only supports one architecture (x86_64), and it provides a stack of software. However, it make integration challenging, if the components are swapped out to support other architecture. There are some projects that can swap out either HDFS or mapreduce framework. This ensures that Hadoop packages can work in modified environment. If someone search for "hadoop rpm" on Google, Bigtop is not visible in the first 2 pages of search results. There is a need of standalone hadoop rpm, but it has not been voiced in the development community. I support the effort to develop this. > Generating RPMs for common, hdfs, httpfs, mapreduce , yarn and tools > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-10772 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10772 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: build > Reporter: Jinghui Wang > Assignee: Jinghui Wang > Attachments: HADOOP-10772.patch > > > Generating RPMs for hadoop-common, hadoop-hdfs, hadoop-hdfs-httpfs, > hadoop-mapreduce , hadoop-yarn-project and hadoop-tools-dist with dist build > profile. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
