[jira] [Commented] (BIGTOP-939) Make usage of bigtop-tomcat more
dynamic
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-939?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13701450#comment-13701450 ]
Bruno Mahé commented on BIGTOP-939:
-----------------------------------
I am still confused regarding what problem this ticket is trying to solve.
So some questions:
* What configuration challenges did you hit?
* Why can't these configurations be generated at build time?
* Configurations don't change most of the time. So why regenerating them for every start?
* As a user, how do I change tweak configurations without messing up packages (ie. editing files in /usr)?
* Why do we have specific use cases such as https coded in the init script in bash?
I don't mind generating files from templates, but I would rather have this step at build time of packages.

> Projects like Oozie and Sqoop present some configuration challenges compared to other components because they use Tomcat. Sometimes small tweaks to the configuration or classpath have to be done in a very component-specific way as opposed to tweaking files in /etc/<comp>/conf or /etc/default. In one case, we even have redundant Tomcat deployments for common configurations (Oozie's SSL vs. non-SSL).
> If the environment for Tomcat was generated more dynamically, we could avoid this redundancy and could allow common features to be configured in more "standard" ways.
