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?
