James Page commented on BIGTOP-479:
-----------------------------------
I think having helpers that do this is useful - but I don't think the init
script is the correct place todo this.
Rationale: if users want to use upstart or systemd in the future we don't
really have the option to have an extra command for 'init' as they work in a
different way.
> init.d scripts should provide an option for initializing persistent state of
> the services that require it

> Key: BIGTOP-479
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-479
> Project: Bigtop
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: General
> Affects Versions: 0.4.0
> Reporter: Roman Shaposhnik
> Assignee: Roman Shaposhnik
> Fix For: 0.4.0
>
>
> The following services require an explicit initialization of the persistent
> state in the local filesystem:
> # Hadoop NameNode (formatting a namenode via: hdfs namenode -format)
> # ZooKeeper (formatting a local storage area via:
> zookeeper-server-initialize)
> and the following ones require an initialization of the RDBMS database (which
> can reside on a local filesystem
> via Derby or be hosted on a remote server such as Postgress, MySQL, Oracle,
> etc.):
> # oozie DB (initialized via ooziedb.sh)
> # possible Hive metastore
> # possibly Sqoop metastore
> In order to free the user from an explicit knowledge of what command to run
> under which account it is desirable
> to have an init.d scripts for the above components support and extra command
> called 'init'.
> Please let me know what do you all think.
