If you are building applications for the big data world, you’ll need access to a variety of big data platform configurations during development and continuous integration. These deployments need to scale down to an individual laptop or scale up to a realistic test cluster, and they need to be interchangeable with quick setup and teardown. Chad Metcalf and Seshadri Mahalingam explore several strategies for meeting this challenge by containerizing and deploying Hadoop services in Docker. Chad and Seshadri share lessons learned from solutions that they built, some which have been open sourced, and dig into topics including how to manage the images lifecycle, configuration, persistent data, multihost networking with Docker Engine and Swarm, and creating different deployment environments with Docker Machine.
