They have an infrastructure already in place (sponsored by Cloudera) that is apart and unrelated to Apache dedicated to bigtop building. It is at http://bigtop01.cloudera.org:8080 Let me go investigate and report back. Pluses are that it is already set up. Cons are we would be competing w/ bigtop builds but it should be possible to get extra resources dedicated if too much competition. Otherwise, if this does not work out, for hbase integration tests, yes, lets try and organize distributing paying for integration test infrastructure. St.Ack
