Hi all,
As the number of scripts continues to grow, the current count within a single
sbin directory has reached as high as 27. Moreover, these scripts are scattered
across various projects such as datanode, confignode, cli, and node-commons,
making the search and maintenance of scripts quite inconvenient.
Therefore, we plan to migrate the scripts in the next version, with the main
content as follows:
• Script Central Management: Migrate scripts scattered across different
projects to the scripts/sbin and scripts/tools directories under the root
directory.
• Script Functional Classification: Categorize and move scripts to different
files or subdirectories based on their functionality. For frequently used
scripts, their current locations will be preserved to minimize the impact on
existing workflows.
• Cross-Platform Script Separation: Due to the excessive number of scripts, we
are considering separating Windows and Unix scripts and have proposed the
following four options:
• Option 1: Create a Windows subfolder under the sbin directory (sbin,
sbin/windows).
• Option 2: Create a Windows folder parallel to the sbin directory (sbin,
sbin-windows).
• Option 3: Distinguish during packaging to generate installation packages
for different platforms (apache-iotdb-xxx-SNAPSHOT-all-bin-windows,
apache-iotdb-xxx-SNAPSHOT-all-bin-unix).
• Option 4: Maintain the status quo for the time being (mixed Windows and
Unix).
We sincerely invite community members to vote on these options, with a limit of
two votes per person. Your choice is very important to us and will directly
affect the implementation of the script migration plan.
