---------------------------------
Summary: Flume: run flume agent on Ambari with specified user
Key: AMBARI-18830
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-18830
Project: Ambari
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: pingwang
Flume agent can be started in two ways: by shell and by Ambari.
>From the terminal, any existed user can start flume agent as below:
# su - user01 -c "flume-ng agent -n a1 -f flume-agent.conf"
But from Ambari interface, all the agent processes are started by user "flume"
defined by flume_user property.
Some customers has such requirement that they can specify the user when
starting agent from Ambari. Although flume_user property can be editable but
it will always do the creation operation for the user, this can not meet the
requirement.
Is there any possible to add a Flume_Run-as_User for flume to make agent run by
the specified user? This property is just be used when starting agent?
