Peter Slawski updated BIGTOP-1689:
----------------------------------
    Description: 
Puppet should be flexible in allowing arbitrary configuration name value pairs 
to be merged into a given site.xml file that was generated from a template.

For example, the following could be included in site.yaml which would add a 
configuration entry for hadoop.tmp.dir in core-site.xml:
{code}
hadoop::common_hdfs::hadoop_core_site_overrides:
  "hadoop.tmp.dir": "/mnt/var/lib/hadoop/tmp"
{code}

This could be implemented as a puppet custom-function taking in the output of 
template:
{code}
    file {
      "/etc/hadoop/conf/core-site.xml":
        content => merge_site(template('hadoop/core-site.xml'),  
$hadoop_core_site_overrides)
        require => [Package["hadoop"]],
    }
{code}

Perhaps another approach would be to have site.xml templates be created from a 
single map of name value pairs. The merge would happen before the file content 
is generated from the template.
