Savanna - Hadoop on OpenStack

[Matthew Farrellee]

Hello Big Data SIG folks,

If you aren't familiar, Savanna is an OpenStack project that provides 
Hadoop cluster and workload management. Cluster - construct and manage 
the lifecycle of Hadoop clusters. Workload - workflow for big data 
processing with Hadoop (similar to AWS EMR).

The project home page is https://launchpad.net/savanna

Savanna is made up of 4 sub-projects -
  . savanna, the main services
  . savannadashboard, web UI integration with OpenStack Horizon
  . python-savannaclient, python bindings for the REST API
  . savanna-extra - diskimage-builder elements for...image building

As of today all those are available in F19, F20, and EL6*

openstack-savanna - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=986615
python-django-savanna - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=998123
python-savannaclient - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=998701
savanna-image-elements - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=998702

Thanks for all the community help getting Savanna into Fedora, 
especially the #rdo folks.

With any luck the project will have Fedora based cloud images with its 
next release. Right now all the images are Ubuntu based.

Best,


matt

* openstack-savanna (package for savanna sub-project) has a dep on 
pycrypto and isn't available on EL6 yet, savanna-image-elements depends 
on diskimage-builder which isn't included in EL6 yet
