Hmm, seems intriguing. I'm still not totally clear on bigtop here. It seems like they're creating and maintain basically an installer for Hadoop?
I tried following their docs for Ubuntu, but just get a 404 error on the first step, so it makes me wonder how reliable that project is. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/BIGTOP/How+to+install+Hadoop+dis tribution+from+Bigtop Has anyone actually used bigtop to deploy Hadoop in a production environment?

I see a .deb installer and installed that, but it seems like files are all over the place `/usr/share/Hadoop`, `/etc/hadoop`, `/usr/bin/hadoop`. And the documentation is a bit harder to follow: http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r1.1.2/cluster_setup.html So I just wonder if this installer is the best approach, or if it'll be easier/better to just install the basic build in /opt/hadoop and perhaps the docs become easier to follow. Thoughts? Thanks, Dave -- Nitin Pawar
