SIGs/bigdata/packaging/Tachyon

This is a summary as a part of the Big Data SIG of efforts in packaging Tachyon.

Packaging details

• Targeting 0.4.0
• rpm-repo
• Dependencies
  • [DONE] kryo-serializers w/o wicket support. kryo-serializers-rpm
  • [DONE] curator curator-rpm

Building RPM

Status: Currently Builds, and Tests are GREEN

• Checkout rpm-repo
• spectool -g tachyon.spec
• md5sum tachyon-0.4.0-*.tar.gz > sources
• fedpkg local

Packaging Tasks

• [DONE] - Package missing dependencies
• [DONE] - /bin scripts are not presently bundled. Need to sift through and install scripts which directly pertain to tachyon, as some are general purpose wrappers. see email thread
• [DONE] - Cleanup thrift test failure.
• [DONE] systemd integration
• [DONE] Cleanup ENV & config to use standard locations. From what I gather thus far it implies it's own directory structure so we will need to ENV & check settings such that it plays nicely on the system.
• [PENDING REVIEW] Submit patches for modifications to scripts for system integration
• [DONE] Eval against current hadoop installation.

Special thanks
