| # Welcome to Bigtop! |
| |
| Bigtop (http://incubator.apache.org/bigtop/) is a project for the development of |
| packaging and tests of the Apache Hadoop (http://hadoop.apache.org/) |
| ecosystem, currently in the Apache Incubator. |
| |
| The primary goal of Bigtop is to build a community around the |
| packaging and interoperability testing of Hadoop-related |
| projects. This includes testing at various levels (packaging, |
| platform, runtime, upgrade, etc...) developed by a community with a |
| focus on the system as a whole, rather than individual projects. |
| |
| ## Building Bigtop |
| |
| Packages have been built on Ubuntu 10.10, CentOS 5 and openSUSE |
| 11.4. They can probably be built on other platforms as well. |
| |
| Building Bigtop requires the following tools: |
| |
| * Java JDK 1.6 |
| * Apache Forrest 0.8 (requires 32bit version of Java JDK 1.5) |
| * Apache Ant |
| * Apache Maven |
| * git |
| * subversion |
| * autoconf |
| * automake |
| * liblzo2-dev |
| * libz-dev |
| * sharutils |
| * libfuse-dev |
| |
| On Debian-based systems one also needs |
| |
| * build-essential dh-make debhelper devscripts |
| * reprepro |
| |
| ## Building packages |
| |
| $ make [component-name]-[rpm|deb] |
| |
| ## Building local YUM/APT repositories |
| |
| $ make [component-name]-[yum|apt] |
| |
| ## Running the tests |
| |
| WARNING: since testing packages requires installing them on a live |
| system it is highly recommended to use VMs for that. |
| |
| Testing Bigtop is done using iTest framework. For more documentation |
| on iTest visit the iTest page |
| (http://cloudera.github.com/bigtop/iTest) but here's 2 steps to get started: |
| |
| * install package testing iTest artifacts locally: |
| |
| cd test/src/smokes/package/ && mvn install -DskipTests -DskipITs -DperformRelease |
| |
| * use those locally installed iTest package testing artifacts to run a suite: |
| |
| cd test/suites/package/ && mvn clean verify -Dcdh.repo.file.url.CentOS=XXX -D'org.apache.maven-failsafe-plugin.testInclude=**/TestPackagesReadiness.*' |
