Rob Leidle updated BIGTOP-1754:
-------------------------------
Description:
Right now most, if not all, Bigtop RPM packages are setup to log to
/var/log/app where app is something like hue, hadoop-yarn, or hive. Often times
systems are configured with small root partitions that can't handle this large
degree of logging. However, it is very useful to have the logs always be in
/var/log/hadoop-hdfs as this is an easy path to remember.
The proposal is that we add a global variable for defining a logging root. So
for example it could be defined as /mnt/log. If this variable is set then the
directory will be created and a symlink in var log will be created. So in the
case of hadoop-yarn:
/var/log -> /mnt/log/hadoop-yarn
would be the symlink created. All RPM specs would be updated to support this
global root logging location.
