great feedback guys. my thoughts: @andrew, yeah thats some very good points you make. thanks for the input maybe yarn and HDFS should continue to stick around.
@RJ, i think python, and the mgmt tooling can be complimentary, but more ** on top ** of bigtop, i.e. in a vendor product based on bigtop : or a community repackaging of bigtop --- managing them as part of bigtop itself -- might be extra features are a little out of scope of bigtop ; which is more around deployment and packaging / testing for the core of a big data infrastructure, as opposed to an e2e solution. but *at the least* i think it makes sense to keep in mind the ambaris and also the ipythons/tableus of the world when producing bigtop releases, b/c if those represent use cases we can have good tests for (i.e. REST Apis and PySpark tests and so on)...
