[jira] [Commented] (BIGTOP-848) Allow to build stack on top of an arbitrary Hadoop SHA

["Konstantin Boudnik (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-848?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13648837#comment-13648837 ] 

Konstantin Boudnik commented on BIGTOP-848:
-------------------------------------------

[~bmahe], git archive is an appealing feature to use, however github nor ASF git mirror doesn' support {{git archive}} from outside it seems. Github though provides a custom URL to download an archive for a branch.

So, the only alternative to Phil's approach - which might be a bit sub-optimal performance-wise because of the repo cloning - is to provide custom URLs that let you download an archive directly e.g. {{https://github.com/apache/hadoop-common/archive/branch-2.zip}}. However, this seems to be impracticle because different servers will have different URL patterns.

> For the ease of experimenting and doing one-off stack builds, which was always the objective of the founding idea of this project, I would like to have a way to build a stack from an arbitrary SHA of Hadoop git.
