Hi Solr. I work on the apache bigtop project, and am interested in integrating it deeper with Solr, for example, for testing spark / solr integration cases.
Is anyone in the Solr community interested in collborating on testing releases with us and maintaining Solr packagins in bigtop (with our help of course) ? The advantage here is that we can synergize efforts: When new SOLR releases come out, we can test them in bigtop to gaurantee that there are rpm/deb packages which work well with the hadoop ecosystem. For those that don't know, bigtop is the upstream apache bigdata packaging project, we build hadoop, spark, solr, hbase and so on in rpm/deb format, and supply puppet provisioners along with vagrant recipse for testing. -- jay vyas
