> Key: FLUME-941
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-941
> Project: Flume
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Shell
> Affects Versions: v1.0.0
> Reporter: Karthik K
> Assignee: Karthik K
> Fix For: v1.1.0
>
>
> When frequently trying out different installations / upgrades of flume, more
> than not, the flume installation directory (including ./bin) is nuked and
> replaced with an updated version for testing, but the flume settings are
> usually stored under FLUME_CONF_DIR , independently to preserve the settings.
> In the current code, the flume-env.sh(.template) is present in BINDIR to
> override.
> We want to provide a mechanism, to source from FLUME_CONFIG_DIR/flume-env.sh
> though, (if present) while being backward compatible still.
