Bigtop builds components in containers based on target target ${OS}-${ARCH} docker images.

At present Bigtop supports those $those ${OS}-${ARCH} combinations  combinations offcially

centos-6 OS: debian-8          debian-9   fedora-25-ppc64le  ubuntu-1416.04   centos-7  fedora-26     ubuntu-16.04          ubuntu-16.04-ppc64le
centos-7  debian-8-aarch64  fedora-25  opensuse-42.1      ubuntu-14.04-ppc64le  ubuntu-16.04-aarch64opensuse-42.3
ARHC: x86_64   ppc64le   aarch64         

Before going to build stage, target OS/arch combination docker images, bigtop/puppet and bigtop/slaves should be created. If not, please refer Create build images

Build

Brief

Bigtop uses gradle to build and package components.

...

• clean: clean up build 
• pkg: create tarball package
• deb: create deb package
• rpm: create rpm package

Here is an example:

./gradlew hadoop-clean                # clean existing hadoop build outputs
./gradlew hadoop-pkg                  # build and create hadoop release tarball
./gradlew hadoop-deb                  # build and create hadoop release deb package. Note: pkg will also be created
./gradlew hadoop-rpm                  # build and create hadoop release rpm package. Note: pkg will also be created

...

The recommend  build process is to use docker container from target OS-ARCH image to build specified components.

Here is an example for to build hbase for ubuntun-16.04/aarch64 platform ( {{BIGTOP_SRC_TOP}} is thetop  is the top of cloned bigtop source dir):

$ cd ${BIGTOP_SRC_TOP}
$ docker images                         # check if required bigtop/slaves:trunk-ubuntun-16.04-aarch64 is present
REPOSITORY          TAG                          IMAGE ID            CREATED             SIZE

bigtop/puppet       ubuntu-16.04-aarch64         82ef2c36b6e6        7 hours ago         311.5 MB

$ docker run --rm -v `pwd`:/ws bigtop/slaves:trunk-ubuntu-16.04-aarch64 bash -l -c 'cd /ws ; ./gradlew hbase-deb'
