Patrick Hunt commented on ZOOKEEPER-2372:
-----------------------------------------
Why wouldn't the user just make sure to run the script as the proper user?
We typically don't deal with this level of detail - we leave it to the package
maintainers (such as bigtop). zkServer scripts have historically been more of a
convenience.
> Add ability to specify user under which zookeeper process should be started
> using zkServer.sh

> Key: ZOOKEEPER-2372
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-2372
> Project: ZooKeeper
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: scripts
> Affects Versions: 3.4.8
> Environment: Linux Centos 6
> Java 1.7
> Reporter: Siddhartha
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently the zkServer.sh script will start zookeeper as the user invoking
> the script.
> It would be good to add the ability to specify the user (maybe in a $USER
> variable in conf/zookeeper-env.sh) under which the zookeeper process should
> be run, so that any user invoking the script do not accidentally start it as
> their user (esp. as root).
> Addition of this feature would make zkServer.sh the only script required to
> manage zookeeper process.
> Thanks
