             Summary: Leverage bigtop to build a patch deployment tester for hadoop.
                 Key: BIGTOP-1329
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-1329
             Project: Bigtop
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: VM
    Affects Versions: backlog
            Reporter: jay vyas
            Priority: Minor


YARN-1964 demonstrates that testing patches in hadoop is not just about unit testing anymore :   End to end testing is increasingly valuable.  

Lets create a vagrant recipe in bigtop which

1) Pulls a jira patch down
2) Builds hadoop from scratch and 
3) Packages it in a local repo, in a VM.
4) Runs a smoke test on the patch.

This essentially would validate that (1) bigtop hadoop packaging is up-to-date with the code on hadoop head (2) Give the hadoop community a solid utility for end-to-end testing of YARN apps. 

This jira will be a significant undertaking, and we will work some on the idea during the BigTop Meetup today.  

Lets start by diagraming the process for end-to-end testing of a hadoop patch using bigtop-rpms, and ensuring that its actually feasible.
