Description

It would be very nice to start using our puppet code as a basis for a higher level orchestration framework capable of driving a true distributed multi-node deployment of Bigtop components. Puppet code is great at stamping out a predictable single node deployments, but we have to extend it with a DSL aimed at solving higher level orchestration.

This JIRA is meant to be a central information radiator for collecting ideas on how to approach this (what DSL to use, how to structure communication between agents and fact sharing, etc).
