> (as discussed in
> https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/ddfbff7f371d47c6da013ff14e28bce3b353716653a01649a408d0ce@%3Cdev.nifi.apache.org%3E)
> Currently nifi-env.sh unconditionally sets NIFI_HOME, NIFI_PID_DIR,
> NIFI_LOG_DIR and NIFI_ALLOW_EXPLICIT_KEYTAB so they can only be overridden by
> changing nifi-env.sh.
> Other *-env.sh files I looked at (e.g. from Hadoop or HBase) have most/all
> their settings commented out or only override variables if they have not
> already been set outside of the *-env.sh script.
> Peter and [~joewitt] witt from the mailing list are in favor of keeping the
> current behavior of the file unchanged due to the fear that it might break
> something for some people out there.
> There are a few different options I can think of on how to work around this:
> # Have another environment variable NIFI_DISABLE_NIFIENV that basically
> exits the nifi-env.sh script if it's set
> # NIFI_OVERRIDE_NIFIENV which - if set to true - allows externally set
> environment variables to override the ones in nifi-env.sh
> I'm sure there are more but those are the ones I can think of now.
> I'm in favor of option 2 as that allows me to selectively use the defaults
> from nifi-env.sh
>
> I can provide a patch once we've agreed on a way to go forward.
>
> This would help me tremendously in an environment where I cannot easily alter
> the nifi-env.sh file. This is also useful in the Docker image which currently
> wipes out the nifi-env.sh script so its own environment variable take effect.
