Bruno Mahé commented on BIGTOP-1159:
------------------------------------
We could do that, but what is the use case for /var/lib/bigtop?
The plugins.d directory is only meant to be as a place to drop jars. Plugins
are not expected to be writing there as far as I know.
See http://flume.apache.org/FlumeUserGuide.html#directory-layout-for-plugins
> /usr/lib/flume-ng/plugins.d/ needs to be created and owned by flume

> Apache Flume expects plugins to be dropped in /usr/lib/flume-ng/plugins.d/.
> But our package do not provide such directory since flume does not ship any
> plugin.
> Apache Flume package should create an empty directory
> /usr/lib/flume-ng/plugins.d/ and owned it.
> So plugins can be dropped automatically as packages into their own
> subdirectories.
