> start 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?
