Bruno Mahé commented on BIGTOP-939:
-----------------------------------
As Roman pointed out, /usr shall be considered as immutable.
Also people may want to tweak these templates. /usr/lib would be a bad place
for people to edit files. Therefore, I would rather have these template in /etc.
Also this is not the first time I see a ticket about having templates, be it in
builds or deployments. Would it be helpful if we start thinking about using a
common templating engine for most of our use cases?

> Projects like Oozie and Sqoop present some configuration challenges compared
> to other components because they use Tomcat. Sometimes small tweaks to the
> configuration or classpath have to be done in a very component-specific way
> as opposed to tweaking files in /etc/<comp>/conf or /etc/default. In one
> case, we even have redundant Tomcat deployments for common configurations
> (Oozie's SSL vs. non-SSL).
> If the environment for Tomcat was generated more dynamically, we could avoid
> this redundancy and could allow common features to be configured in more
> "standard" ways.
