Andrew Purtell commented on BIGTOP-1068:
----------------------------------------
bq. It's handy to have DataFu packaged because you can't just throw it in
anything like a POM and have pig retrieve it for you
This is a good point.
I would expect someone developing for the Hadoop ecosystem would include
Curator as a dependency in a POM.
As far as Bigtop is concerned, I think it can be useful for increasing test
coverage for ZooKeeper, we could harmonize the version used for packaged
component builds (depending on the ability to specify the dependency version at
build time - projects approached previously seem receptive to small POM patches
for that, e.g. Phoenix, Giraph, Benchpress), and users could have a known
location for picking up its jar if deploying an application to a Bigtop
install. Not sure more could/should be done.
Is there a similar situation and interest (or disinterest) regards Avro? See
BIGTOP-39.
> Add packaging for Apache Curator
> --------------------------------
>
> Key: BIGTOP-1068
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-1068
> Project: Bigtop
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 0.7.0
> Reporter: Andrew Purtell
> Assignee: Andrew Purtell
>
> Apache Curator is a framework that greatly simplifies using Apache ZooKeeper.
> It adds many features that build on ZooKeeper and handles the complexity of
> managing connections to the ZooKeeper cluster and retrying operations. It
> also implements the common recipes that are described in the ZooKeeper
> documentation. Because it helps developers avoid the pitfalls involved with
> using ZooKeeper and implementing its recipes, Curator is used extensively in
> production at Netflix and other places. It is an incubating project with a
> good likelihood of graduation.
> Bigtop should consider offering a Curator package as a simple library
> depending on the ZooKeeper package, a relationship similar to that of DataFu
> with respect to Pig or Phoenix with respect to HBase. Adding Curator would
> also introduce a number of new useful ZooKeeper functional and integration
> tests.
