[jira] [Created] (METRON-1650) Packaging docker containers are too large

James Lamb created METRON-1650:
----------------------------------

             Summary: Packaging docker containers are too large
                 Key: METRON-1650
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-1650
             Project: Metron
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: James Lamb


I have been looking through the project source code, and found that the packaging docker containers are bigger than they need to be. 

The containers' size could be cut substantially by:
 * Grouping as many commands as possible into as few RUN stages as possible
 * Taking advantage of `yum clean` and `apt-get clean`
 * Removing artifacts pulled with `wget`
 * Removing unused libraries or libraries only needed at build time (like `tar` and `wget`)

I am creating this issue but will soon submit a PR to address it.

Thank you for considering my proposal!
