Description

As a demo application in BigTop, BPS Spark should be deployable to BigTop. As a result, compatibility with the Spark artifact published by BigTop should be a priority.

BPS Spark currently builds against upstream, vanilla artifacts published by upstream projects through Maven. This could lead to a situation where BPS Spark is incompatible with the BigTop artifacts or deployments.

Whatever solution we decide on should consider the following use cases:
1. Building & deploying BPS Spark against specific BigTop versions
2. Building & deploying BPS Spark against non-BigTop (e.g., upstream) versions
3. Ease of building / testing for developers
