Description

Hadoop on Mesos is currently done as a "contrib" of a Hadoop distribution. We "make this work" via a very complicated "tutorial" which builds a Hadoop on Mesos distribution. This is unnecessary. Work has been made by others to simplify running Hadoop on Mesos (see github.com/mesos/hadoop). Using Mesos as the repository for Hadoop on Mesos doesn't make sense because it doesn't allow it to easily operate independently of what's happing in Mesos itself. Moreover, the contributors to Hadoop on Mesos could be very different to the contributors to Apache Mesos itself.
