image architecture -- probably no 32-bit for docker, big data?

[Matthew Miller]

I know we discussed keeping the 32-bit image around, but I don't think we
actually covered the specialized images.

Docker doesn't even support 32 bit hosts -- it may someday, but even then,
the assumption of most containers is gonna be 64-bit x86_64.

And I don't think it makes sense to have a 32-bit big data image, but maybe
I'm wrong on that for certain workloads?

+1 on only supporting a 64-bit image at least for big data and docker. 
I can't think of any tools or applications thereof that would make sense 
to run 32-bit but maybe mattf, willb, or others know of some?

[Julien Eid]

Agreed, it doesn't make sense to keep 32bit images for these.

i recommend sticking to 64bit and leaving the door open for 32bit if 
there's demand.

best,
