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

             Summary: Set up generic puppet module architecture to manage both 
HDP and CDH (and Apache?) stacks
                 Key: AMBARI-3524
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-3524
             Project: Ambari
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: agent
            Reporter: Thibaut Marmin


Currently ambari-agent manages stacks via puppet modules. These modules are 
specific to HDP stacks in the sens that scripts strongly depend on it special 
features:
- Some packages only exists in HDP stack (e.g. hadoop-sbin, hadoop-pipes, etc.)
- Some scripts doesn’t exists in CDH stack (e.g. 
/usr/lib/hadoop/bin/hadoop-daemon.sh)
- Etc.

To allow ambari to manage CDH stacks, two ways are possible according to my 
point of view :
- Consider CDH services as new services. This includes development of new 
puppet modules named cdh instead hdp.
- Make the current puppet modules more generic by removing all hdp references 
in their names and develop an additional conditional level to handle cases as 
you deploy CDH or HDP stack.

The second method seems to be more attractive because it abstracts the tool 
from HDP naming.
