dhruba borthakur commented on HADOOP-3835:
------------------------------------------
My thinking is that all (core and contrib) jars, docs, javadocs, bin, lib, etc
get packaged into a single rpm. This gets installed in a default location,
probably /var/opt/hadoop. This path can be overridden at rpm install time. This
package does not have any configuration files.
Then, there will be a separate rpm package that contains the configuration
(hadoop*.xml, metrics.properties, log4j.properties, and all file sin the conf
directory). This will be installed by default at /var/opt/hadoop/conf.
No NFS mounting is necessary. These two packages will most likely be installed
on local directories on each cluster machine. The installation of a new package
will not start/stop services. It is possible that an "install" might check to
see if any hadoop processes are running, and of so, refuse to install. This
will be for RehHat Linux. Once the scripts are made public, anyone can extend
it to work on other Linux distributions.
