------------------------------------------

             Summary: Introduce Universal Packaging System for Hadoop distribution
                 Key: BIGTOP-1422
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-1422
             Project: Bigtop
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: deployment
    Affects Versions: 0.8.0
            Reporter: Konstantin Boudnik
            Priority: Blocker
             Fix For: 1.0.0


Looks like the time comes where Bigtop needs to step up and champion new revolutionary format for packaging of the Hadoop.

New UPS provides completely relocatable archive-like media of distribution for the content and the services alike. Preparation of an UPS deliverables shouldn't require any special development tools nor particular SDL: only cross-platform archives and widely available command-line interpreters would be a per-requisite for the creation and installation.

In our opinion, the separation of the services and content of the applications, e.g. .deb and .rpm, are an outdated paradigm, which complicates the deployment processes, upgrades, and overall system orchestration.

Architectural proposal will follow shortly.
