Need mechanism for init to work with empty /accumulo directory
--------------------------------------------------------------
Key: ACCUMULO-500
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-500
Project: Accumulo
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.4.0
Reporter: John Vines
I don't know if this should be done for 1.4.1 or 1.5.0, but this is primarily
to help support ACCUMULO-404. In a secured installation, there is the
assumption that the accumulo user only has rwx access in the /accumulo
directory and it's children. Unfortunately, Accumulo only knows how to init
with there being no /accumulo directory. While I understand we don't want to
worry about clobbering the directory, we should provide a mechanism to init on
top of an existing, but empty, /accumulo hdfs directory. This will allow the SA
to create an accumulo directory and provide perms appropriately for the
accumulo user, rather than having to grant write at the root level and then
revoking that permission after initting.
