----------------------------------------
Nice! I'd like to try it out. Tomorrow

> Some simple work on using HBase with Docker was committed into /dev-support
> as "hbase_docker;" all this did was stand up a standalone cluster from source
> and start a shell. Now seems like a good time to extend this to be useful for
> applications that could actual benefit the community, especially around
> testing. Some ideas:
> - Integration testing would be much more accessible if people could stand up
> distributed HBase clusters on a single host machine in a couple minutes and
> run our awesome hbase-it suite against it.
> - Binary compatibility testing of an HBase client is easiest when standing up
> an HBase cluster can be done once and then different client source/binary
> permutations run against it.
> - Upgrade testing, and especially rolling upgrade testing, doesn't have any
> upstream automation on build.apache.org, in part because it's a pain to set
> up x-node clusters on Apache infrastructure.
> This proposal, whether it stays under /dev-support or moves out into it's own
> top-level module ("hbase-docker" would conveniently fit the existing schema
> :-)), strives to create a simple framework for deploying "distributed,"
> multi-container Apache HBase clusters.
