jay vyas commented on BIGTOP-1317:
----------------------------------

Qiuck note while we are improving flume tests, is that  there is also a way to 
launch a flume agent from pure java rather than using properties files, this is 
probably more self contained and a better way to test the API, 
http://flume.apache.org/FlumeDeveloperGuide.html#embedded-agent.  


> Make variable names in Flume Test reflect the HCFS Compliance.

> This is a pretty quick task we can do : The Flume tests appear to be HCFS 
> Compliant, because they use a variable for the file system URI, but there are 
> a bunch of variables (like nn, hdfs_sink, ...)  which at first glance make it 
> look to be hard coded to hdfs. 
> Lets clean up the variable names, for example
> {noformat}
>   private static String hdfs_sink_dir = 
> "${nn}/user/${System.properties['user.name']}/$tmp";
> {noformat}
> could be alot simpler:
> {noformat}
>   //will write, for example, to hdfs://user/bigtop-tester/tmp/
>   private static String hcfs_sink_dir = 
> "${System.properties['user.name']}/$tmp";
> {noformat}
