Bigtop is an Apache Foundation project for Infrastructure Engineers and Data Scientists looking for comprehensive packaging, testing, and configuration of the leading open source big data components. Bigtop supports a wide range of components/projects, including, but not limited to, Hadoop, HBase and Spark.
Packaging | Smoke testing | Virtualization |
---|---|---|
Bigtop packages Hadoop RPMs and DEBs, so that you can manage and maintain your Hadoop cluster. | Bigtop provides an integrated smoke testing framework, alongside a suite of over 50 test files. | Bigtop provides docker recipes and raw images for deploying Hadoop from zero. |
Bigtop support many Operating Systems, including Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, Fedora, openSUSE, openEuler and many others.
Bigtop includes tools and a framework for testing at various levels (packaging, platform, runtime, etc.) for both initial deployments as well as upgrade scenarios for the entire data platform, not just the individual components.
However place supply a suitable JRE (for instance openjdk7) first
Apache Bigtop uses Jenkins for continuous integration testing (you can learn more about Jenkins here ). There is a Jenkins server currently running for the project:
The Apache Jenkins server runs the "Bigtop-trunk" job whenever code is committed to the trunk branch, which in turn runs several test jobs.
In each branch there is a job to build each component, a job to run package tests and a job to build package repositories.
