--------------------------------------------------------------
[~jayunit100] Yes, let's get the current driver into BigTop. I'll work on
finishing the 0.2 release of the data generator and publishing a JAR we can
pull via Maven.
We can then work on updating the BPS MapReduce driver and data model.
PS -- Here's an updated URL for the Spark Driver:

> Project: Bigtop
> Issue Type: Improvement

> Affects Versions: backlog
> Reporter: RJ Nowling
> Assignee: RJ Nowling
> Priority: Minor

> BigPetStore uses synthetic data as the basis for its workflow. BPS's current
> model for generating customer data is sufficient for basic testing of the
> Hadoop ecosystem, **but the model is very basic and lacks sufficient
> complexity for embedding interesting patterns into the data**.
> As a result, **more complex, scalable testing such as testing clustering
> algorithms in Mahout on non-trivial data or multidimensional data with
> factors influencing it** is not currently possible.
> Efforts are currently underway to incrementally improve the current model
> (see BIGTOP-1271 and BIGTOP-1272).
> To create a model that can that incorporate **realistic, non-hierarchichal
> patterns** and input data to generate rich customer/transaction data with
> interesting correlations will require a re-imagining of the current model and
> its framework.
> To support the improvements to the model in BigPetStore, I have been working
> on an **alternative ab initio model, developed from scratch**. Since the
> development of a new model involves substantial R&D work with more
> specialized tools (mathematical and plotting libraries), I'm doing the
> current work outside of BPS using the iPython Notebook environment. Due to
> the long time frame, the model will be developed on a separate timeline to
> prevent slowing the development of BPS.
> Once the model has stabilized, I will begin incorporating the model into BPS
> itself. One option is to implement the model in using Scala for clean
> integration with **spark** which is likely to play an increasingly important
> role in the hadoop ecosystem, and thus will be an important part of
> bigpetstore as a test/blueprint app.
