Description

Recently, I saw a user on hadoop user mailing list state that they got 404 error when going through the Bigtop instructions at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/BIGTOP/How+to+install+Hadoop+distribution+from+Bigtop

That made them question the reliability of the project. That's not good. Perhaps, there are some outdated links there, perhaps it was a user error. In any case, we should validate and improve this wiki page in particular (and the wiki in general but that's not the goal of this JIRA) to be more workable out of the box.
