I think it would make things easier if we reduce the scope of the docker
images to just an all-in-one HBase + Phoenix + all Phoenix features
enabled testing image to simplify things for now.
Since Phoenix has tags for $HBASE_VER:$PHOENIX_VER for each release, we
should be able to use build hooks (see
https://github.com/docker/hub-feedback/issues/508).
We simply write a shell script to parse the tag, split it into its
constituent parts and pass it to the docker build command as BUILD_ARGS.
The docker file would then reference these build args and build an image
for each tag.

I think having a "one-button" Phoenix environment is a big win,
especially for folks who want to do one-off testing with a specific
version.
My biggest hesitation (as you probably know) is integration with the
rest of Apache infrastructure. That's a problem we can work on solving
though (I think, just automation around publishing).

Hi all,
I currently maintain a HBase + Phoenix all-in-one docker image[1].
The image is currently used to test Phoenix support for the Avatica
Go SQL driver[2]. Judging by the number of pulls on docker hub
(10k+), there are probably other people using it.
The image spins up HBase server with local storage, using the bundled
Zookeeper with Phoenix support. The Phoenix query server is also
started on port 8765.
While the image is definitely not suitable for production use, I
think the test image still has valid use-cases and offers a lot of
convenience. It's also possible to update the image in the future so
that it can be used to spin up production clusters as well as testing
instances (similar to what Ceph has done[3]).
Would the Phoenix community interested in accepting the dockerfile +
related files and making it part of Phoenix? The added benefit of
this is that it would be possible to configure some automation and
have the docker images published directly to dockerhub as an
automated build for each release.
