------------------------------------------
Summary: Simplify depedencies needed for init-hcfs
Key: BIGTOP-1871
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-1871
Project: Bigtop
Issue Type: Bug
Components: debian, rpm
Affects Versions: 0.8.0
Reporter: Konstantin Boudnik
Fix For: 1.1.0
Ever since we have introduced BIGTOP-1235 there was a bit of mess with where
the bits of HCFS initialization reside. In particular, it has caused
BIGTOP-1865. And the fix of the latter wasn't optimal.
The current dep.graph is like this:
- hadoop package carries around {[init-hdfs.sh}} script that now needs
{{init-hcfs.groovy}} and {{init-hcfs.json}} for the latter.
- in order to run the groovy script, {{hadoop-hdfs}} package needs to declare
the dependency over {{bigtop-groovy}}
- {{bigtop-groovy}} needs {{bigtop-utils}} to resolve JAVA_HOME
Clearly, {{hadoop-hdfs}} has nothing to do with {{bigtop-groovy}}. Furthermore,
init-hcfs functionality shouldn't even belong to {{hadoop-hdfs}}: for once,
that'd make the life of other HCFS compatible systems harder.
I'd suggest we introduce a new package where all such helper tools would
belong. To sum up:
- let's create new package {{bigtop-scriptlets}}; {{init-hcfs.groovy}} will be
moved there from {{hadoop-hdfs}}
- it will depends on {{bigtop-groovy}} for Groovy runtime
- {{hadoop-hdfs}} will depends on {{bigtop-scriptlets}}
This solution should break deps. loop somewhat addressed in BIGTOP-1865 and
make the package dependencies a bit more straight.
