Eric Alton updated AMBARI-13680:
--------------------------------
Description:
A custom (or value-add) service installed after the Ambari stack has been
installed may need to change the configuration of an existing service. For
example, a change to the hive-env configuration file to add jar files to the
HIVE_AUX_JARS_PATH.
I understand the current recommendation for changing another service is through
the stackadvisor python script. However, this is only done during the
installation of the stack, not afterward.
A custom service added afterward uses the REST APIs to perform the
configuration update of an existing service. This requires the user input
their Ambari admin username and password when the custom service is being
installed. There is concern that users will complain about this requirement.
This feature request is for an internal API which can be used by custom
services to request configuration updates through the ambari-server, and which
does not require the Ambari admin username or password.

in the hive-env conf file. This requires the user input their Ambari admin
