Hi Ryan — We ended up patching both storm 0.8 and storm 0.9 for this — here’s the patch I wrote for 0.9. (This has been on my to-do list to get to Nathan, so thanks for the reminder.)
This adds a “--conf-dir” option to ./bin/storm that you can then point at a dir that contains storm.yaml; and also adds a --logback-file option that you can then point at your log back file. In our setup, the storm src code is read-only to the runtime, and the dir paths that are writeable (for logging, or for generating the storm.yaml from a template) aren’t known at install time. best, Jeff 25a26 > LOGBACK_FILE = STORM_DIR + "/logback/cluster.xml" 254c255 < "-Dlogback.configurationFile=" + STORM_DIR + "/logback/cluster.xml", --- > "-Dlogback.configurationFile=" + LOGBACK_FILE 274c275 < "-Dlogback.configurationFile=" + STORM_DIR + "/logback/cluster.xml", --- > "-Dlogback.configurationFile=" + LOGBACK_FILE 295c296 < "-Dlogback.configurationFile=" + STORM_DIR + "/logback/cluster.xml", --- > "-Dlogback.configurationFile=" + LOGBACK_FILE 316c317 < "-Dlogback.configurationFile=" + STORM_DIR + "/logback/cluster.xml", --- > "-Dlogback.configurationFile=" + LOGBACK_FILE 336c337 < "-Dlogback.configurationFile=" + STORM_DIR + "/logback/cluster.xml" --- > "-Dlogback.configurationFile=" + LOGBACK_FILE 421a423,428 > elif token == "--logback-file": > global LOGBACK_FILE > LOGBACK_FILE = curr.pop() > elif token == "--conf-dir": > global USER_CONF_DIR, CLUSTER_CONF_DIR > USER_CONF_DIR = CLUSTER_CONF_DIR = curr.pop() On Jan 25, 2014, at 11:31 AM, Ryan Chan <[email protected]> wrote: > There is an old post also talking about this and no useful reply (1+ year > ago): > https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/storm-user/51wualp1xUk/ywkWaMWiLCcJ > > It mentioned to use the following option if we want to launch the supervisor, > e.g. > > java -client -Dstorm.options= -Dstorm.conf.file=/app/shared/storm/storm.yaml > supervisor > > However, this option require the storm.yaml must be in the classpath, > however, even I specified the classpath, I still not able to use that config > file, like the OP, so this issue is not doable right? > > > > >
