Thanks @justinleet.
> @justinleet: ... should the default batch profiler config live in Ambari?
That's the feedback I am looking for on the FB, so thanks.
Just to level set, right now the Mpack installs the Batch Profiler and that
is it. There is no configuration, starting, stopping or any other integration
with the Mpack.
I thought it wasn't worth it to add the configuration to Ambari. The Batch
Profiler isn't a service that needs to remain running like the others, you
wouldn't stop, start, or check the status of it.
You have to run it from the command line. If I add just the configuration
elements to Ambari, then a user has to go into Ambari to change the
configuration, use the command line to define their profile, and then run it
from the command line. Based on this, I feel adding it to Ambari makes it more
difficult to use.
Now eventually, I'd like to get a proper UI around the Profilers and I
think at that point, we would be able to determine how it should integrate with
the Mpack and that UI.
