----------------------------------------------------------

Yes, [~rguo] , keep in mind, the "normal" use case for bigtop (bigtop seniors 
correct me if im wrong)

- ASF Releases Tarballs which are hard to use in a distributed system.
- BIGTOP takes tarballs and transforms them into packages.
     - users, service installation, etc/ files
- You "yum install..." the Bigtop components on your cluster and set them up 
using puppet. 

What is your use case? Are you making custom HBase versions or something?  If 
so, you can : 

- build your own tarball using the mvn utilities associated with the individual 
project.
- modify bigtop to point to your tarball, instead of getting them from apache.

Is that sufficient?

> Now after we build rpm by bigtop, the binary tar ball built by bigtop will be 
> removed, we want bigtop can keep this binary tar ball or we can use the 
> command such as 'make hadoop-tar' to build binary tar ball only.
