Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-2032:
---------------------------------------
@Seth: Thanks for the pointer. For my purposes here -- installation of a few
supporting packages for an arbitrary user mapreduce job on startup -- I prefer
to do something as simple and dependency free as possible that doesn't require
me (or users) to learn about another package and dependency management
framework beyond yum and rpm.
However just because I don't want to use Chef does not mean you could/should
not, if you are so inclined. :-) if you do, perhaps you would consider
contributing back the result.

> Support downloading and installation of user packages at instance boot time.
> Should pass a list of URLs or a Yum repository URL and list of package names
> in user data. If given a list of URLs, download them all and then run 'rpm
> --install' with all included on the command line if the URL ends in '.rpm',
> or untar in / if the URL ends in '.tar.gz' or '.tgz'. If given a repository
> and package list, run 'yum install' appropriately.
