Sean Mackrory commented on BIGTOP-1159:
---------------------------------------
The use case for /var/lib/bigtop is exactly that - a place for the user to drop
JARs. Even though it's not the application's runtime state, there seems to be
a lot of precedent for /var/lib being the place for user plug-ins as opposed to
/usr/lib. That's where Oozie expects you to install ExtJS since it can't
distribute it itself, too
> /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.
