Description

Since the Vagrant image (which is the only documented way to trying out S2Graph) is outdated, and also as a prerequisite of making a release, it is desirable to be able to readily make a distribution package. The goal is to be able for an end-user to download & untar the package, and run a shell script to start off s2graph and all its dependencies.

AFAIK S2graph requires mysql for storing the metadata and HBase for the actual data. Both could be contained in the package if:

• we run HBase server that is in the hbase-server jar, running without HDFS, saving data in the local filesystem instead, and
• instead of the full MySQL server, use an embedded database like derby or h2 to store the metadata.

It would also require some technical consideration about how exactly we should layout the files and what toolchain we should use to build the package, so I think adding child issues for each subtask would be appropriate.
