Philip Zeyliger commented on BIGTOP-492:
----------------------------------------
Is this to more easily support multiple Hadoop clusters on the same machine?
Is it for the *xml files, the *env files, both?
I'm not clear what this issue is trying to fix. {{.my.cnf}}, something vaguely
similar, lets you specify MySQL client configs, but Hadoop's configs are very
mixed client/server.
> make our launcher scripts recognize cascading defaults

> Almost all Unix (POSIX?) command line utilities have a nice feature of
> recognizing cascading defaults. The system-level one is typically named
> /etc/<util>rc and the user-level one is typically picked from ~/.<util>rc
> I propose that we introduce the same for all of the /usr/bin launcher scripts
> that we support in Bigtop. The proposed format of the rc files is that of
> POSIX-compatible sh(1) code snippet with an overall effect of exporting those
> variables that affect execution.
> Thoughts?
