                 Key: SFOS-1442
                 URL: http://jira.smartfrog.org/jira/browse/SFOS-1442
             Project: SmartFrog
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: _service_cloudfarmer, _service_hadoop
    Affects Versions: 3.17.x
            Reporter: Steve Loughran

I want to test Hadoop code running on newly allocated clusters. For that we need to be able to ask the cloudfarmer for a  cluster running Hadoop over which we then run tests.

Currently the logic to create the Hadoop cluster is hidden in the cloudfarmer webapp, it waits for machines to get allocated, loads .sf files with custom templates, etc. Either we talk to the deployed webapp (always a valid option), or we isolate the code to create a cluster so that it can be used outside the webapp.

Short term: do neither. Modify the pagerank tests or create a new -terasort project that tests terasorting by being brought up against a live cluster; create the cluster by hand, through the webapp. This will test the hadoop cluster without so many distractions
