Bruno Mahé commented on FLUME-1012:
-----------------------------------

For reference, Apache Bigtop (incubating) uses the hostname as the agent name for its init script. It has been working so far.

>    Affects Versions: NG alpha 2

> Atm flume isn't ready to start via sysinit, because its need a agent definition at startup:
> bin/flume-ng agent -n NAME -f conf/flume-conf.properties.template
> which reflect the name.foo in the config files. An easy improvement could be to improve the Node name check from missing node name into all node names.
> Tech:
> ====
> bin/flume-ng agent -f conf/flume-conf.properties.template
> java.lang.IllegalStateException: Node name not specified in node.Application (Application.java):
> Code:
> Preconditions.checkState(configurationFile != null,
>         "Configuration file not specified");
>     Preconditions.checkState(nodeName != null, "Node name not specified");
> Here flume nodeManager could iterate over all name.foo and start all flows. If one or more fails, throw an exception and go to the next available.
