Hi Mike,
That's a great point. Getting started with a cloud stack is an
involved process, and we are committed to help folks get started
with GeoMesa. So far our limited time toward this goal has been
focused on documentation and tutorials. We've discussed preparing
AMIs and other resources along the lines you've suggested.
Along those lines, if your process generates a good starting place,
we'd be more than happy for you to share your knowledge with the
community.
Since GeoMesa lives on top of Hadoop and Accumulo, and further
interacts with MapReduce/Scalding and Spark, I feel like GeoMesa
usually is one of the later pieces of software installed. As such,
I expect that GeoMesa can and should be rebuilt to target the
particular versions of software on a cloud.
In general, all of this will be easier once we have finished our
initial IP review. At that point, we'd be able to cut releases, and
as part of that process, we may be able to support various CDH
releases.
Thanks,
Jim

Hi all,
I'm new to GeoMesa. It took me a full two days to get
specific hadoop, zookeeper, and accumulo versions up and
running on an EC2 machine prior to trying out GeoMesa.
In the process, I really wished I had the ability to use
some of the Cloudera CDH "ready to go" platforms available as
a base for GeoMesa... perhaps that would have saved me a bit
of time to "just turn on" GeoMesa. But perhaps I would have
struggled to pick up CDH for the first time as much as I did
getting the stack installed myself. Either way, the hadoop,
zookeeper, and accumulo versions required as listed on
GeoMesa's website didn't align one way or another with CDH, so
I wonder about targeting CDH compatibility as something
worthwhile.
Is anyone interested in pre-created VMs, docker containers,
EC2 AMIs, or install-fest style script creation needed to prep
a single-machine "try geomesa" style images? Two days
investment to play around with GeoMesa was tough (not being
deeply familiar with accumulo in particular) and perhaps it
would be valuable to build something like this?
