Bigtop adopted the Ambari stable version (2.7.5) as the cluster management tools for the potential developers and administrators. It also provided the bigtop-ambari-mpack(Bgtp-Mpack) to decouple stack management and definition from Ambari's core. Currently Bgtp-Mpack still just supports Bigtop-1.5 (Hadoop 2.x), but the Bigtop has already supported Hadoop 3.x in Bigtop 3 release. So we plan to start working on upgrading Bgtp-Mpack services from Bigtop-1.5 (Hadoop 2.x) to Bigtop-3 (Hadoop-3.x).
