Explore packaging distros of specific back-end versions

Explore packaging distros of specific back-end versions

E.g. geomesa-accumulo-dist-nodeps, geomesa-accumulo-dist-hadoop-2.8.5-accumulo-1.9.2, etc
This would simplify installation for common setups, both for the CLI tools and geoserver.

Ideally this would be a downstream project that build up tar.gzs based on the nodeps ones coming from geomesa. This may create a maintenance burden to ensure that the packages all work, so we should consider that.

Similarly, we may want to do the same with geomesa-*-spark-runtime.

This may also have IP implications with regards to locationtech, so we need to consider that.

Is there a part score for this ticket which would be easy?

Not that I can think of...

Start by assessing the proposed downstream project and the existing nodeps and spark-runtime distributions. Determine how tar.gz packages for common Accumulo, Hadoop, and Spark setups would support the CLI tools and GeoServer, then document the maintenance and LocationTech IP implications before defining what a viable package set would be.
