Where does the contents of the docker images come from? There are
plans for layered images in Fedora but ultimately the content of said
images still comes from rpm content in Fedora.
But the whole point of going to docker images was the reality that
Hadoop and company are basically unpackageable in Fedora.
If the docker images need Hadoop and its ecosytem to be packaged up
into official rpm packages, then there won't be any Fedora Big Data
docker images.
