Hi all, I don't know how many fans of hadoop there are around here, but I recently added support for Mageia in BigTop. This is not yet checked in and in a release, but it means anyone can now build or install packages for the following projects (descriptions taken from their respective website): * Hadoop. Project to develop open-source software for reliable, scalable, distributed computing. http://hadoop.apache.org/ * Flume. A distributed, reliable, and available service for efficiently collecting, aggregating, and moving large amounts of log data. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLUME/Index * HBase. An open-source, distributed, versioned, column-oriented store modeled after Google' Bigtable. http://hbase.apache.org/ * Hive. A data warehouse infrastructure built on top of Apache Hadoop. http://hive.apache.org/ * Oozie. An open-source workflow/coordination service to manage data processing jobs for Apache Hadoop. http://yahoo.github.com/oozie/ * Pig. A platform for analyzing large data sets that consists of a high-level language for expressing data analysis programs, coupled with infrastructure for evaluating these programs. http://pig.apache.org/ * Sqoop. A tool designed for efficiently transferring bulk data between Hadoop and structured datastores such as relational databases.https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SQOOP/Home * Whirr. A set of libraries for running cloud services. http://incubator.apache.org/whirr/ * Zookeeper. An open-source server which enables highly reliable distributed coordination. http://zookeeper.apache.org/
And on top of that, there is Bigtop which is a project for the development of packaging and tests of the Hadoop ecosystem So in effect this brings an entire full fledged open source distributed computing platform to Mageia. I am a little bit hesitant about providing a repository yet, but don't hesitate to give it a try and send some feedback so this can be improved. If needed I can still send a url to my repository but I don't guarantee anything :) If you are also interested in using one of these projects, don't hesitate to let me know so I can estimate the effort to put in maintaining a working Mageia version. Thanks, Bruno Note: Big thanks to dmorgan for his invaluable maven 3 efforts. It has made my work much easier.
