---------------------------------------

             Summary: Use stack-level Atlas conf directory instead of 
hard-coded /etc/atlas/conf path
                 Key: AMBARI-19524
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-19524
             Project: Ambari
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: ambari-server
    Affects Versions: 2.4.0
         Environment: All
            Reporter: Vishal Suvagia
            Assignee: Vishal Suvagia
             Fix For: 2.5.0


This is a bug that should have been fixed in Ambari 2.4 but showed up too late 
in the release and has repercussions to test it.

Basically, status_params.py for Atlas service in Ambari sets
{code}
conf_dir = os.environ['METADATA_CONF'] if 'METADATA_CONF' in os.environ else 
'/etc/atlas/conf'
{code}

This is technically incorrect since /etc/atlas/conf is a symlink to 
/usr/hdp/current/atlas-client/conf, which is then a symlink to 
/etc/atlas/$some_version/0

During Rolling Upgrade,
1. Atlas Server is stopped, new configs are written to 
/etc/atlas/$new_version/0, then symlink is changed so that 
/usr/hdp/current/atlas-server points to new version, and Atlas Server is started
At this point, /etc/atlas/conf -> /usr/hdp/current/atlas-client/conf (which is 
still using the old version) since the client has not yet been updated.
2. Atlas Client has new configs written to /etc/atlas/$new_version/0, then 
symlink is changed so that /usr/hdp/current/atlas-client points to new version

Basically, we need to look at the usages of conf_dir and make sure it is 
correct during all scenarios.
