             Summary: Add ability to accept a configuration files as is
                 Key: SLIDER-316
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLIDER-316
             Project: Slider
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: agent-provider, appmaster
    Affects Versions: Slider 0.40
            Reporter: Sumit Mohanty
            Assignee: Sumit Mohanty


An application package may not parameterize all the config file. In that case, Slider should have the ability to accept one or more config files in a folder that will be copied as is to the application config folder.

Whether these config files over-ride the config file generated by the application package or not is the responsibility of the application package. The recommendation is to prioritize generate configuration files. 

This means:
* Application package must fully parameterized a specific config file such that the full file can be auto-generated
* Application package can optionally accept other files to be dropped into the config folder
* User provides configuration parameters (e.g. parameters for the site.xml)
* User may provide a set of files in addition to above (e.g. log4j.properties)
* WHen the application is instantiated
** default config folder is created when the tarball is expanded
** this folder is over-written by the supplied config files if any
** the generated config files are then dropped into the config folder
