Dima Spivak commented on HBASE-12721:
-------------------------------------
Thanks, [~busbey]. I'll move those tasks to live under a new umbrella JIRA
having to do with integrating the topology into testing. Documentation is
blocked at the moment by the uncertainty of where we should be pushing Docker
images. Once that's resolved, I'll hammer out updates to the ref guide and the
RC scripts before taking a stab at Jenkins jobs to run {{hbase-it}} upstream
somewhere.

> 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.
