Jonathan Hsieh updated FLUME-770:
---------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Status: Resolved (was: Patch Available)
> setting FLUME_IDENT_STRING based on $USER is not robust
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLUME-770
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-770
> Project: Flume
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Shell
> Affects Versions: v0.9.4
> Reporter: Roman Shaposhnik
> Assignee: Roman Shaposhnik
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: v0.9.5
>
> Attachments: FLUME-770.patch.txt
>
>
> The following bit of code from flume-daemon.sh fails to produce the correct
> result under sudo-type of execution:
> if [ "$FLUME_IDENT_STRING" = "" ]; then
> export FLUME_IDENT_STRING="$USER"
> fi
> This is because $USER is not always set for shell. A more robust solution
> would be to use the output of id -nu
