             Summary: During Component Install conf-select Shell Uses Current Working Directory That Doesn't Exist Yet
                 Key: AMBARI-14006
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-14006
             Project: Ambari
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Andrew Onischuk
            Assignee: Andrew Onischuk
             Fix For: 2.1.3


On an existing (not upgraded) HDP 2.3.2.0-2390 cluster, installation of
additional components fails with the following error:

    
    
    
    2015-10-21 08:28:44,613 - Skipping Execute[('cp', '-R', '-p', '/etc/zookeeper/conf', '/etc/zookeeper/conf.install')] due to not_if 
    2015-10-21 08:28:44,767 - New conf directories: shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory, shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory, job-working-directory: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory, /etc/zookeeper/2.3.2.0-2950/0 
    2015-10-21 08:28:45,075 - checked_call['conf-select set-conf-dir --package zookeeper --stack-version 2.3.2.0-2950 --conf-version 0'] {'logoutput': False, 'sudo': True, 'quiet': False} 
    2015-10-21 08:28:45,228 - checked_call returned (0, 'shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory\nshell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory\njob-working-directory: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory\n/usr/hdp/2.3.2.0-2950/zookeeper/conf -> /etc/zookeeper/2.3.2.0-2950/0') 
    

Subsequent runs of the install command succeed. The root of the problem is:

    
    
    
    getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory\n/usr/hdp/2.3.2.0-2950/zookeeper/conf -> /etc/zookeeper/2.3.2.0-2950/0') 
    

During a component install, we invoke the `conf-select` module which:

  * Creates `conf.install` from `conf`
  * Changes `conf` into a symlink
  * Invoke `conf-select` to change pointers to <version>/0

However, the /etc/zookeeper/2.3.2.0-2950/0 does not yet exist while `conf-
select` is being invoked:

**after-INSTALL/scripts/shared_initialization.py**
    
    
    
    versioned_confs = conf_select.create("HDP", package, version, dry_run = True)
    

**conf_select.py**
    
    
    
    code, stdout = shell.call(get_cmd(command, package, version), logoutput=False, quiet=False, sudo=True)
    

**Now the real question here is why in the world the `/etc/zookeeper/2.3.2.0-2950/0` directory is being used a the cwd!** The workaround of this issue is to ensure we pass in the `cwd` to `shell` which will pass it to `Popen`:
    
    
    
    code, stdout = shell.call(get_cmd(command, package, version), logoutput=False, quiet=False, sudo=True, cwd="/")
    

I think we need to:

  * See if this can be reproduced and understood
  * Determine a proper value for `cwd` here
