On behalf of the Apache Bigtop team, I'd love to announce the general

A few highlights of this release include:

* a brand new ppc64le architecture was added to the support matrix
* most stable Hadoop 2.7.1 is used
* new data notebooks project Zeppelin (incubating)
* addition of Apache Hama

(Crunch, Flume, Ignite, Hive, Mahout, Oozie, Phoenix, Pig, Spark, and
many others)
With Bigtop 1.1 the community continues on the path of delivering the most
advanced, openly-developer data analytics stack to date. This is a true bigtop
project, bringing together virtually all of the Apache Software Foundation
data processing projects.
This release of the Apache Bigdata platform include close to 260 bug fixes
and new features.
Deploying Bigtop is easy: grab the repo/list file for your favorite Linux
distribution:
http://www.apache.org/dist/bigtop/bigtop-1.1.0/repos/
and you'll be running your very own bigdata cluster in no time!
Alternatively, you can use Bigtop provisioner to spin-up a virtual cluster
with a single command as explained in
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/BIGTOP/Bigtop+Provisioner+User+Guide
I want to emphasize the great work done by the project contributors, and thank
everyone in this and other communities who made this release possible!
Thanks,
Cos (Bigtop 1.1.0 RM)
