Maarten Ectors commented on STORM-240:
--------------------------------------
Hi Jon,
Canonical is making Debian packages but the real value is that the whole
community makes them. The same is true for Juju. Who do you think makes the
best Hadoop type of charms, the Apache foundation or Canonical? Most Hadoop
type of projects are currently hard for people to setup and integrate into
other projects. Canonical wants to help people to reduce the setup, integration
and scaling to one line commands: juju quickstart bundle, juju add-relation,
juju add-unit, etc. Canonical basically has the same goal as the Apache
foundation: make it easy for everybody to use great open source solutions. So I
would only ask for you to give Juju a quick try and then you will understand
that jointly we can make the life of millions of people easier and spread
Apache software more widely and more consistently. Unless of course you prefer
to respond to the same mailing list question over and over again: "how do you
install, scale, integrate, upgrade,etc. this or that Apache project".
Regards,
Maarten

> Make the Juju Charm for Storm work great
> ----------------------------------------
>
> Key: STORM-240
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-240
> Project: Apache Storm (Incubating)
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Maarten Ectors
>
> Juju (juju.ubuntu.com) is the default solution from Ubuntu to instantly
> deploy, integrate and scale software on any public cloud, private cloud or
> server. The magic behind Juju is called a charm. A charm can be written in
> any language. There are charms made in/with bash, python, java, chef, puppet,
> ansible, docker, etc.
> To give you a 1 minute demo just go to:
> https://jujucharms.com/sidebar/search/?text=instantBigDataNoSQL and
> drag-and-drop "demo: instant" from left to right and you will see all major
> Big Data and NoSQL solutions instantly deployed and integrated. Just click on
> Cassandra or Hadoop Slaves and change from 10 units to 100 units to scale to
> a 100 node Cassandra or Hadoop cluster. This demo is not having a cloud doing
> the actual deployment but you would be able to do the exact same on AWS, HP
> Cloud, Azure, private OpenStack, bare-metal servers with maas.ubuntu.com and
> even on a local Ubuntu machine [provided it had a lot of memory and CPU].
> Make any changes and see how you can instantly export a bundle and import it
> into another environment. For more info see juju.ubuntu.com/docs.
> Juju's strength is instant integration and scaling. Especially for Storm this
> would greatly help users see its immediate strengths in minutes. A minimum
> Storm charm was already made that integrates into Zookeeper but it is not
> ready for prime time. Updating the charm for Storm to work correctly and
> adding relationships to other components like for instance Cassandra, HBase,
> Tomcat, Presto, etc. would allow the Storm charm to be amazing. I am happy to
> transfer ownership of the existing code to the Apache Foundation. The license
> is already Apache.
> PS Jean-Baptiste Onofre already is writing a Karaf charm so he can give some
> good guidance. Additionally at Ubuntu we are happy to give a free remote
> training on how to write charms.
