Bigtop is a project under the Apache Foundation aimed at Infrastructure Engineers and Data Scientists who seek an all-encompassing solution for the packaging, testing, and configuration of prominent open-source big data technologies. It encompasses a variety of components and projects, such as Hadoop, HBase, and Spark, among others. With Bigtop, users can access Hadoop RPMs and DEBs, facilitating the management and maintenance of their Hadoop clusters effectively. The project also features a comprehensive integrated smoke testing framework that includes a collection of over 50 test files to ensure reliability. Additionally, Bigtop offers Vagrant recipes, raw images, and currently developing Docker recipes for seamless deployment of Hadoop from scratch. It is compatible with a multitude of operating systems, such as Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, Fedora, openSUSE, and several others. Bigtop further provides a robust set of tools and frameworks for testing across various levels—including packaging, platform, and runtime—suitable for both initial setups and upgrade procedures, ensuring a smooth experience for the entire data platform rather than just isolated components. This versatility makes Bigtop an essential resource for anyone involved in big data projects.
