Eric Yang commented on CHUKWA-630:
----------------------------------
The intent to use fixed uid as a work around to ensure that we don't
accidentally use the same uid as populated from central LDAP server. The
conflict of uid may cause another user to have the same rights as the chukwa
user.
I am fine with leaving out --shell -g hadoop and -M.
> Chukwa's RPM should create the user 'chukwa' before installation

> Chukwa's RPM, as built with 'ant rpm', sets the ownership of all files to
> user 'chukwa', but it does not create this user before installation. The rpm
> should create user 'chukwa' before installation and it should remove the user
> when the package is un-installed.
