Bruno Mahé commented on BIGTOP-846:
-----------------------------------
For now to fix that jira, can we make the creation of that user optional? Or
better, make it passed as a parameter? The latest patch does not seem give such
option.
I don't always want to create a user directory for the user running that
script. The user running that script may also not always be the one using
Apache Hadoop (for instance when a vm gets created). So being able to pass the
user as a parameter would be very nice (ie, creating home dir for various users
when creating the vm).
Also, I am not sure we want to make that directory writable to the group or the
world by default.

> For BIGTOP-547, I had done my testing where I running the MR job as root.
> However, the helper script creates home directory for hard-coded set of users
> (root, jenkins, etc.) but not for other users. In particular, it doesn't
> create a directory for the user who is running the command.
> It should do that too (safely, in case the user is root).
