Josh Elser commented on ACCUMULO-925:
-------------------------------------
bq. Is there a reason why we can't apply this back to 1.6?
Should probably have a discussion about it -- need to consider the impact on
user automation around our scripts. We haven't really identified how the
scripts should be covered by our compatibility statement (we have nothing about
them now which is probably negligence). My gut reaction is that it wouldn't be
worth it, but I'm not against someone doing the work to backport it (as long as
we're sure we don't break scripts).
It also would require the .out/.err file rotation (or at least splitting that
logic out). IIRC, the hope was that usage of the existing start/stop-server and
start/stop-all scripts didn't change, but I don't remember enough to say it is
definitely compatible.

> Start scripts should create PIDfiles to store the PID of running processes in
> a well known location (example: /var/run/accumulo/tserver.pid or
> $ACCUMULO_HOME/tserver.pid), for the following benefits:
> # Identify running services on a machine without executing and parsing the
> system process list, so stop scripts can kill them when they are unresponsive.
> # Prevent multiple instances of the same application from starting up (an
> environment variable for the location of the PIDfile can be used to allow
> multiple instances if it is desirable to do so).
> # Potentially provide an alternate mechanism for terminating a process by
> deleting its PIDfile rather than its lock in Zookeeper.
