I don't see any good reason to put off making pcap it's own Ambari
component. Having to restart the parsers component (which is unrelated to
pcap) to propagate pcap changes is a deal breaker for me.
Had this been submitted against the pcap feature branch I would be fine
with it as an incremental change but I don't feel like this puts master in a
good state and I definitely would not want it in a release. Why not just do it
here?
