we now have an RPM -initially for testing rather than anything else.
1. Building it is covered in building.md: TL;DR: run mvn -Prpm on a Linux
system with "rpm" installed. That can be linux as well as RHAT, you just
need to test the installation on a redhat VM, or a CentOS image like the
HDP sandbox.
2. Example install and test
# rpm -Uvh slider-0.31.0-incubating_SNAPSHOT20140709153353.noarch.rpm

This output shows that slider is not configured yet: the Resource manager
Address of `/0.0.0.0:8032` is invalid.
Uninstallation can also be tested
# rpm -e slider
# /usr/lib/slider/bin/slider version
-bash: /usr/lib/slider/bin/slider: No such file or directory
3. Configurations go into /usr/lib/slider/conf to be manually edited
I'm not trying to do anything clever with environment variables, path
patching, hooking up to existing hadoop installations etc. This is just
the tarball installed into a fixed location and marked as belonging to user
"mapred"
