Brian Swan commented on AMBARI-1783:
------------------------------------

Eric: In some cases, it makes sense to think of OpenJDK (or Python, or ...) as 
a service (e.g. deploying Hadoop in a virtual environment or in a cloud 
environment). In these scenarios, when a "service" is not manageable, it is 
just software to be installed. 

By suggesting that the "running environment" should just be a flattened list of 
key-value pairs, are you saying that this would be preferable to grouping them 
under core-site, hdfs-site, etc. ? The current design is such that it prevents 
a deployment tool (such as Ambari, but others too) from needing to maintain any 
sort of configuration mapping. (In general, I think it's important to consider 
that these manifest files may be consumed by deployment tools other than 
Ambari.)

I like your suggestions for being able to add a configuration file or reference 
one in place of the key-value pairs (if I've interpreted your suggestion 
correctly). I also like the suggestion for a "conflict" property.

> Deployment of a hadoop cluster can be modeled as the mapping of a stack 
> definition to a set of host while satisfying placement constraints. A stack 
> definition refers to the description of various services that comprise a 
> hadoop stack (e.g. HDP-1.2.1), components associated with the services, and 
> configuration properties. A set of available hosts is specified through a 
> host-manifest that lists the available hosts and relevant 
> properties/characteristics of each host. A cluster blueprint is specification 
> of a hadoop stack mapped to a set of hosts. Mapping to a host can be a direct 
> mapping - e.g. deploy this component X on host Y or a host can be specified 
> as a set of requirements which is used to select the most appropriate host(s) 
> from a host-manifest.
