jay vyas commented on BIGTOP-996:
---------------------------------

Okay, I've created this page:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=34018936

Which i'll flesh out as soon as possible .  [~mackrorysd] maybe can help on the "how to add a package tobigtop".

The page can be a "link farm"  , i guess, which just points to pertinent README files or JIRAs or whatever, that way its easy to keep up to date over time. 

Hope others will help maintain it as well.

Once i get the first pass done, I'll close this JIRA accordingly :) !

> I argue that a major part of becoming a contributor for Bigtop is a learning curve in how to use all the mechanics of the trade. I see this times and again.
> We need to have a HOWTO.txt document that would have a trivial description of the needed steps. Something like:
> sudo jenkins
> clone Bigtop repo
> mvn install top pom.xml
> mvn install itest 
> set HADOOP_CONF_DIR, HADOOP_HOME, HADOOP_MAPRED_HOME
> mvn install test-artifacts top pom.xml
> mvn install test-execution top pom.xml
> mvn -Dorg.apache.bigtop.itest.log4j.level=TRACE -f bigtop-tests/test-execution/smokes/hadoop/pom.xml verify
> That might be sufficient.
