Ari Rabkin commented on HADOOP-4993:
------------------------------------
It's hard to write unit tests for ChukwaAgent, because there's no way to
suppress the default configuration mechanism and pass the Agent a hardcoded
test configuration. I think the fix is to create another constructor, that
takes a Configuration explicitly instead of reading a file. This will make it
easy to test the configuration and startup mechanisms. Those tests should
probably appeaer with this JIRA.
And as long as we're fixing the configuration mechanism, we shouldn't read both
initial_adaptors and a checkpoint. Initial_adaptors should only be used if
there isn't a checkpoint.
> chukwa agent startup should be more modular
