Description

Now that BIGTOP-1222 is finally in, we should iterate again on it.

• Lets move the simple smoke tests (like hadoopExamples) into bigtop-1222 exclusively.
• Lets also add better parameterizations for stuff like groovy , and a good way for users to update them (not just updating the parameters in build.gradle)
• Finally, lets also integrate it to run from top level directory. Right now you have to run from inside bigtop-tests/smoke-tests

cos can provide some more details on how we'd like to see it evolve. My preference is towards maintaining scripts in the smoke-tests directories whereever possible and starting to thin out the deeply nested maven stuff, except where maven is absolutely essential (i.e. jar packaging).
