----------------------------------
Summary: Optional global for root log directory
Key: BIGTOP-1754
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-1754
Project: Bigtop
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: debian, rpm
Affects Versions: 0.8.0
Reporter: Rob Leidle
Priority: Minor
Fix For: backlog
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.
