jay vyas commented on BIGTOP-1384:
----------------------------------

looks like [~dcapwell] is now working this angle and has some interesting ideas 
on how to get around the ASF limitations. looking forward to upcoming patch. 

- davids additions will install gradle on the fly so smoke-tests have zero 
system expectations
- Also i think this patch will update the 
https://github.com/apache/bigtop/blob/master/bigtop-deploy/vm/vagrant-puppet/smoke-tests.sh
 recipes to use the gradle bash wrapper instead of the puppet based toolchain 
installer

> Implement Gradle Wrapper for smoke tests and cleanup.

> By adding a the infamous *gradle wrapper script* (this is the idiom in gradle 
> - to use the wrapper instead of a local gradle install) into our VCS, we 
> gaurantee that the gradle tricks we implement will be running the exact same 
> on all systems, no matter what.
> - Also, it opens the tests up to be runnable by anyone, even those who don't 
> have gradle installed.
> - Finally, gradle wrapper will embolden us to be able to use more 
> sophisticated gradle tricks newer features, b/c we will know that they run 
> the same in all environments.
> So, this task consists of :
> 1) Adding gradle wrapper to the {{bigtop-smoke-tests}}
> 2) Implementing cleanup for the build.gradle files also, possibly allowing 
> for version specific features (i.e. advanced dependency inheritance for 
> subprojects etc)
> 3) Update README with new instructions for people running the tests.
