bq. ambari, handles the creation of necessary HDFS dirs, that works nicely and
gives admin full control of file system layout
Ambari does not handle auto creation of user home directories - I've run it for
several years for several clients at this point and customers still run in to
this little bug bear - otherwise I wouldn't have raised this ticket.
bq. Similarly on linux, user home dirs were not created automatically, that is
admin's job.
When you SSH in to Linux systems /etc/skel is copied to instantiate
/home/<username> if it doesn't already exist - this is where I got the idea
from, it's been this way for many years and been a widely useful paradigm for
millions of people already.
