Apache Bigtop is a project focused on building and packaging the Hadoop ecosystem and related big data components. It provides a consistent framework for testing, packaging, and deploying Hadoop distributions, including tools like HDFS, YARN, Spark, Hive, HBase, and more. By maintaining cross-platform builds (RPMs, DEBs, Docker images, and Kubernetes support), Bigtop makes it easier for organizations to deploy big data stacks in different environments. It also includes a set of integration tests and smoke tests to ensure compatibility and stability between ecosystem components. Developers and operators can use Bigtop to assemble customized Hadoop distributions tailored to their infrastructure and workloads. Its focus on reproducibility and packaging reduces friction in deploying large-scale data processing systems and ensures that different components of the Hadoop ecosystem work well together.

Features

  • Provides packaging tools for Hadoop ecosystem components (e.g., RPM, DEB)
  • Includes integration and smoke testing frameworks for validation
  • Supports recipes for build, test, and deployment workflows
  • Ensures interoperability across multiple big data components
  • Supports multiple Linux distributions (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS, openSUSE)
  • Eases creation and deployment of consistent big data stacks
