ACCUMULO-210 Create separate RPMs
Add descriptions to each module, add scripts to create user
(ACCUMULO-1387), and to set up system-wide configuration
(ACCUMULO-1385), using conventional unix directories from the RPM macros
where appropriate (ACCUMULO-1638)
> RPM/DEB should create an accumulo user

> Accumulo shouldn't be owned and run as root when using the RPM/DEB packaging.
> Instead, we should have a pre-install script that manages an accumulo user,
> in the same way that other services create users (httpd, postgres, mysql,
> ntp, sshd, ftp, and countless others follow this practice). Init scripts that
> launch accumulo services should suid to this user (using lsb start_daemon
> --user flag, preferred).
