Epic for supporting downloadable stack definitions

[Siddharth Wagle <sw...@hortonworks.com>]

Hi all,


I have created an Epic for the next Ambari release for separating Ambari core and stack definitions. The stack definitions give the management and monitoring capabilities to a service and therefore the term stack management pack has been coined instead.


The scope of work is still at high level however, Ambari's design already caters to this model and thereby the changes should be limited to enhancing the cluster setup, UI modifications, validation of stack definition, inheritance and son.

Please feel free to comment. Contributions welcome.


Best Regards,

Is there a plan to support extending such stack definitions after initial setup? i.e. say you have an HDP 2.3 stack but want to layer it with your own custom services at some point in the future. Is this new download capability being designed to handle incremental updates?
