Mike Walch commented on ACCUMULO-4490:
--------------------------------------
I have been experimenting for a few days and have gone through a few
iterations. I made a [GitHub pull
request|https://github.com/apache/accumulo/pull/160] with some code that is not
ready to be merged (more work is needed) but is ready for feedback. Let me
know what you think. I tried to focus on script API and did a lot of wrapping
of the current scripts. After the API has been settled, I would like simplify
these scripts.

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: scripts, start

> Currently, there are too many Accumulo scripts and config files in 'bin' and
> 'conf' respectively. It is confusing to know which scripts or configuration
> file should be used. Some scripts are just used by other scripts. Some
> configuration file are only needed in rare situations. Scripts also lack
> usage/help docs.
> Below is general plan to fix this:
> # Reduce the number of scripts in 'bin' directory
> #* Move implementation/uncommon scripts to 'scripts' directory
> #* Scripts in `bin` should be simple wrapper scripts that either call Java or
> implementation script in `scripts' directory
> # Scripts in 'bin' should have good help/usage information.
> # Only generate one set of example configuration in 'conf/examples'. User can
> use bootstrap-config to generate config for different environments.
> # Change bootstrap-config to only generate minimal config necessary.
> # For uncommon configuration files (like logging), fall back to example file
> in 'conf/examples' if file not present in 'conf'
