Re: Including Apache Knox in BigTop

[Kevin Minder <ke...@hortonworks.com>]

Hi Everyone,
Created BigTop Jira (and 3 sub-tasks)
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-944
to track the work that is required to get Knox included in BigTop.  I 
don't fully understand what work is required but we'll figure that out 
as we go along.
Kevin.
