Apache: Big Data 2015

Apache Bigtop as an open source Hadoop distribution, focuses on developing packaging, testing and deployment solutions that helps infrastructure engineers to build up their own customized bigdata platform as easy as possible. However, packages deployed in production require a solid CI testing framework to ensure its quality. Numbers of Hadoop component must be ensured to work perfectly together as well. In this presentation, we'll talk about how Bigtop deliver its containerized CI framework which can be directly replicated by Bigtop users. The core revolution here is the newly developed Hadoop provisioner that leveraged Docker for infra automation. The content of this talk includes the technical details of Bigtop Hadoop provisinoer, a hierarchy of docker images we designed, and several components we developed such as Bigtop Toolchain to achieve build automation.
