----------------------------------
Summary: Improve HDFS helper script
Key: BIGTOP-852
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-852
Project: Bigtop
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Deployment
Affects Versions: 0.6.0
Reporter: Mark Grover
Fix For: 0.6.0
There are a few things that can be improved regarding the HDFS helper script
introduced by BIGTOP-547. Some of these issues have been discussed in
BIGTOP-637.
1. The script seems to create user directories for users "root" and "jenkins"
but not the current user running the script. I think it will be a good idea to
add in the script the commands to create the /user/$USER directory in HDFS. Of
course, we should be careful in case the user running the command is root or
jenkins, in that case a simple mkdir command would throw error given that those
directories already exist.
2. The script uses sudo which requires login shell. However, login shells are
not available for certain use cases like init scripts. Consequently, we should
consider using su instead.
3. Look into how the helper script can be made faster
Folks, please feel free to add/edit if there is something I missed.
