[jira] [Updated] (STORM-240) Make the Juju Charm for Storm work great

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-240?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Maarten Ectors updated STORM-240:
---------------------------------

    Description: 
Update the Juju Charm for Storm in order for users to:
do a one line install (juju quickstart bundle...)
have a one line upgrade (juju upgrade-charm)
instantly scale (juju add-unit)
instantly integrate with other charms like Cassandra, HBase, Tomcat, Presto, etc. (juju add-relation)

More info on Juju Charms at http://juju.ubuntu.com/docs. 

  was:
Juju (juju.ubuntu.com) is the default solution from Ubuntu to instantly deploy, integrate and scale software on any public cloud, private cloud or server. The magic behind Juju is called a charm. A charm can be written in any language. There are charms made in/with bash, python, java, chef, puppet, ansible, docker, etc. 

To give you a 1 minute demo just go to: https://jujucharms.com/sidebar/search/?text=instantBigDataNoSQL and drag-and-drop "demo: instant" from left to right and you will see all major Big Data and NoSQL solutions instantly deployed and integrated. Just click on Cassandra or Hadoop Slaves and change from 10 units to 100 units to scale to a 100 node Cassandra or Hadoop cluster. This demo is not having a cloud doing the actual deployment but you would be able to do the exact same on AWS, HP Cloud, Azure, private OpenStack, bare-metal servers with maas.ubuntu.com and even on a local Ubuntu machine [provided it had a lot of memory and CPU]. Make any changes and see how you can instantly export a bundle and import it into another environment. For more info see juju.ubuntu.com/docs.

Juju's strength is instant integration and scaling. Especially for Storm this would greatly help users see its immediate strengths in minutes. A minimum Storm charm was already made that integrates into Zookeeper but it is not ready for prime time. Updating the charm for Storm to work correctly and adding relationships to other components like for instance Cassandra, HBase, Tomcat, Presto, etc. would allow the Storm charm to be amazing. I am happy to transfer ownership of the existing code to the Apache Foundation. The license is already Apache.

PS Jean-Baptiste Onofre already is writing a Karaf charm so he can give some good guidance. Additionally at Ubuntu we are happy to give a free remote training on how to write charms.
