             Summary: Add packaging for Apache Curator
                 Key: BIGTOP-1068
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-1068
             Project: Bigtop
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Andrew Purtell


Apache Curator is a framework that greatly simplifies using Apache ZooKeeper. It adds many features that build on ZooKeeper and handles the complexity of managing connections to the ZooKeeper cluster and retrying operations. It also implements the common recipes that are described in the ZooKeeper documentation. Because it helps developers avoid the pitfalls involved with using ZooKeeper and implementing its recipes, Curator is used extensively in production at Netflix and other places. It is an incubating project with a good likelihood of graduation. 

Bigtop should consider offering a Curator package as a simple library depending on the ZooKeeper package, a relationship similar to that of DataFu with respect to Pig or Phoenix with respect to HBase. Adding Curator would also introduce a number of new useful ZooKeeper functional and integration tests.
