Hi Thomas, Thanks for your interest in bigtop and getting apex componentized and supported in bigtop.
Some general getting started info on bigtop contributions: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/BIGTOP/How+to+Contribute Would start to look at src of the project at a few of the current components. /bigtop/bigtop-packages/src/common /bigtop/bigtop-packages/src/deb /bigtop/bigtop-packages/src/rpm That will be the basics of build and packaging. If datatorrent has some existing rpm, deb setups can start with that and tweak to conform to bigtop practices if needed. For deploy/config side of things can look at references in: /bigtop/bigtop-deploy/puppet/modules/* If you guys don’t have existing puppet resources feel free to ping the list and one of a few in the group can help get you guys going with that. Also take a look at the root .bom file (/bigtop/bigtop.bom) and look at how you guys might define apex and some of its possible build dependencies (ie: apex requires that hdfs be running underneath it) After build and packaging going can start to look at some relevant apex smoke tests that might already be available and included, some references there at: /bigtop/bigtop-tests/smoke-tests/* Ping list as you guys dig in with any questions/issues Nate -----Original Message----- From: Thomas Weise [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, January 25, 2016 5:21 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Apache Apex as part of Bigtop Dear Bigtop community, I'm member of the Apache Apex (incubating) PPMC and wanted to explore the possibility of getting Apex into Bigtop. Our web site is at: http://apex.incubator.apache.org/ Apex was originally developed at DataTorrent since 2012 and entered incubation last August. Thanks, Thomas
