Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: build
Environment: Apache Hadoop build hosts
Reporter: Konstantin Boudnik

Attachments: HADOOP-7157.patch, HADOOP-7157.patch


Build hosts are being re-jumped, in need for configuration updates, etc. It is hard to maintain the same configuration across a 10+ hosts. A specialized service such as Puppet can be used to maintain build machines software and configurations at a desired level.
Such configs should be checked into SCM system along with the of sources code.
