Sean Mackrory commented on BIGTOP-993:
--------------------------------------
I've built RPMs on openSUSE 12.3 and installed / removed DEBs on Ubuntu 10.04,
and the packaging looks mainly good to me (although the patch seems pretty
messed up when trying to apply it). A few questions / nitpicks:
* It doesn't look like there are any tarball releases, and we're just building
from a tarball of the master branch. Are there plans at Phoenix to cut a
tarball release we can consume?
* Would this be the first time we're packaging a BSD-licensed component? We've
previously listed Apache licenses as requirements for inclusion, but I think
BSD is close enough. I presume there are no hoops we need to jump through
before distributing BSD-licensed bits as an Apache project?
* The package includes -tests and -sources JARs which we usually don't do.
There's a versionless symlink for tests so it looks intentional - but what's
the intention?
* There are 2 other JARs without versionless symlinks. We might as well do all
of them since it's handy when scripting infrastructure around Bigtop.
* We're creating an empty /usr/lib/phoenix/bin directory. Maybe clean it up?
Better yet, we could include a wrapper around the sqlline.sh CLI client they
bundle :)

> Phoenix (https://github.com/forcedotcom/phoenix) is an open source BSD-style
> licensed SQL skin over Apache HBase, delivered as a client-embedded JDBC
> driver. The Phoenix query engine transforms your SQL query into one or more
> HBase scans, and orchestrates their execution to produce standard JDBC result
> sets. Direct use of the HBase API, along with coprocessors and custom
> filters, results in performance on the order of milliseconds for small
> queries, or seconds for tens of millions of rows. Applications interact with
> Phoenix through a standard JDBC interface; all the usual interfaces are
> supported.
> As an enhancement of significant value to Apache HBase, in a Bigtop
> distribution Phoenix would have a role similar to that of Datafu, a
> collection of enhancements to Apache Pig.
