-----------------------------------
Summary: Flume NG pkg init script should allow user to customize
the location of the conf dir
Key: BIGTOP-566
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-566
Project: Bigtop
Issue Type: Bug
Components: General
Affects Versions: 0.4.0
Environment: all
Reporter: Will McQueen
Assignee: Bruno Mahé
Fix For: 0.4.0
A typical Flume NG invocation is:
bin/flume-ng --conf-file conf/flume-conf.properties.template --conf conf
--name agent1
...and the corresponding invocation after installing the Flume NG bigtop
package would be:
/usr/lib/flume-ng/bin/flume-ng --conf-file /etc/flume-ng/conf/flume.conf
--conf /etc/flume-ng/conf --name agent
The Flume NG init script, installed as part of Bigtop Flume NG, allows us to
modify:
1) the --conf-file value (via FLUME_CONF_FILE)
2) the --name value (via FLUME_AGENT_NAME)
...but not the --conf value. So the user loses some flexibility when using
Bigtop Flume NG over Apache Flume NG.
I recommend that the /etc/init.d/flume-ng-agent script be modified to allow the
user to set FLUME_CONF_DIR. That is, in this init script, please change this:
FLUME_CONF_DIR=/etc/flume-ng/conf
..to this:
FLUME_CONF_DIR=${FLUME_CONF_DIR:-/etc/flume-ng/conf}
