Steve Loughran commented on WHIRR-676:
--------------------------------------
OK, I'll clarify
* bad experiences with distributed puppet in a VM world, as many of its
assumptions about the network are often wrong
* some of things I've tried to install are puppet-related, and it's own set of
dependencies are pretty tricky to get right -need to get the relevant EPEL
repos up, otherwise the wrong versions of things get in.
The existing "issue {{yum -y install}} commands" strategy is fairly simplistic,
and you have to do some extra actions -mainly create some users and symlinks:
[https://github.com/steveloughran/whirr/blob/hdp1/services/hdp/src/main/resources/functions/install_hdp_hadoop.sh]
[https://github.com/steveloughran/whirr/blob/hdp1/services/hdp/src/main/resources/functions/configure_hdp_hadoop.sh]
That code would benefit more from detection of non-zero exit codes than puppet

> The CDH services predate Bigtop, but now that it's available we should change
