Nigel Jones created ATLAS-2084:
----------------------------------
Summary: Make berkelyDB backed Atlas available without external
download
Key: ATLAS-2084
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ATLAS-2084
Project: Atlas
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Nigel Jones
In https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ATLAS-2012 I proposed providing a
dockerized version of Atlas to aid people getting up to speed with the
technology. During the review it was noted that we had used Hbase for storage
rather than the more lightweight, simpler, BerkelyDB. My concern had been
around licensing.
Today when we build Atlas following the instructions at
http://atlas.apache.org/InstallationSteps.html the user is directed to download
the berkeleyDB jar from oracle. In ATLAS-2012 David/Graham pointed out that
this DB appears to be Apache 2.0 licensed, which means we could incorporate it
into our build legitimately.
Given the necessity to get licensing correct I've opened up this new JIRA to
focus on that change. We would need to
* Validate we are indeed correct about the license
* Add the DB file into the build
* Update the web instructions
* And optionally as per the original JIRA, consider making B-DB the default
for our docker image (most lightweight).
Please add your thoughts. I'm happy to get and do this change .
