Hemanth Yamijala commented on HADOOP-4145:
------------------------------------------
Proposal:
* We can define an optional hod.account-verification-script in the hod
configuration.
* If present, then hod will launch this as:
{code}
${hod.account-verification-script} ${resource_manager.pbs-account}
${hod.account-verification-script-params}
{code}
* The account-verification-script-params is to allow for us to pass other
information in the future, for e.g. maybe a URL to a custom accounting package,
etc.
* If this script returns a zero exit code, all is fine, and the job proceeds
for allocation, passing the account name as before.
* If the script returns a non-zero exit code, allocation fails. The script can
write a descriptive message to stderr and that will be printed by HOD to the
user.
* If no script option is specified, hod allocation works as it does currently.
