So, adding pcap to the list of parser topologies won't do it because pcap
has a special script (start_pcap_topology.sh) due to it having a different
config file (all of the parser topologies share the same config). Also, it's
just a different sort of beast than a parser topology (i.e. we don't actually
parse anything, we just take the raw data, slap on a header and put it in HDFS).
That being said, what I think we need to do is start the pcap topology when
pycapa is installed. I'll have to look into where and how to do that in
ansible. If you have any thoughts or suggestions, I'd be all ears. ;)
