Josh Elser commented on SLIDER-756:
-----------------------------------
Definitely -- dealing with scripts and configuration details is a "manageable"
problem that we could solve without a local conf/installation, IMO. In talking
about this with Billie, I haven't come up with a good suggestion on how to
handle client classpath needs, especially when the user is sitting outside of
the cluster. In that case, her approach to install some complete appconf is
probably the most-straightforward solution, but I'm still curious if something
else tricky could be done...

> The idea behind this script is to make it easier to run the accumulo script
> (particularly the accumulo shell) against an accumulo instance running on
> slider. The basic idea is to have:
> {noformat}
> accumulo-slider --app <appName> <accumuloCommand>
> {noformat}
> and a few extra commands like:
> {noformat}
> accumulo-slider --app <appName> quicklinks
> accumulo-slider --app <appName> proxies
> accumulo-slider --app <appName> --appconf <confDir> getconf
> accumulo-slider --app <appName> install <installDir>
> {noformat}
> To run accumulo commands, the script requires ACCUMULO_HOME and SLIDER_HOME
> to be set in the environment.
> For the getconf command, you can download the conf to a specified directory,
> and in subsequent commands to accumulo-slider you could use the following to
> avoid having to download the conf each time:
> {noformat}
> accumulo-slider --appconf <confDir> <command>
> {noformat}
> For the install command, you specify an install dir, and it will pull down
> the app package, untar the accumulo tarball, and configure it. (I have
> concerns that this may be a brittle process.) Once this install dir is made,
> you could use it as a normal accumulo installation, using the accumulo script
> directly instead of the accumulo-slider wrapper script. The install dir
> could also be used as an ACCUMULO_HOME for future calls to accumulo-slider
> for other app instances.
