[jira] [Comment Edited] (BIGTOP-718) Update wiki for component requirements

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-718?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13465760#comment-13465760 ]

I still don't see the questions about what do you guys see as a legit components being answered. E.g.
bq. would effectively prevent us from doing stacks for say Lucine, or Drill, or something else

and
bq. If the community wishes to provide some other great tool not necessary related to Apache Hadoop but useful nonetheless, why preventing it?

Unless these are satisfied, any changes in the goals and charter of the project can't be put in motion.

> I think some updates are in order for this Wiki page in order to more accurately reflect the goals of the project: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/BIGTOP/Requirement+for+adding+a+new+component+to+Bigtop+distribution.
> For starters, it should have a more prominent link on the Wiki and a summary on the project home page. Not only is it going to be an increasingly common question, but it's an important part of defining what "Bigtop" is really all about. I know when I first started on the project it was the first thing I looked for.
> Second, we say projects have to be "Big Data"-related. Judging by other documents* and existing discussions regarding new components, it seems like we really mean to say "Hadoop"-related, and I think the extra focus would be good (having said that, I do think of Spark as Hadoop-related).
