1) Agree we can move to docker native solutions. Of course, this makes it 
impossible to test the bare metal deployments that some folks still care about. 
Otto also seems promising, it's ec2 native.... 

Now, If we think docker is better for testing, then relying on OS specific VMs, 
maybe that's telling us something about the future of production big data 
clusters as well....

2) (rehash microservices rant)  So..if we agree docker is sufficient for all 
our testing, why not just move (ok I admit this is a little extreme.. But)... 
entirely to microservices? That way we can focus on the interesting parts (like 
keeping up with the spark release cycle, Kafka integration , spark hbase 
Integration, and so on)... 

IMO Ultimately the similarity between deb and rpm containers is a lot higher 
than the similarity between deb and rpm packages.  So containers are exactly 
what bigtop needs, at all levels of the stack, not just testing .
