Mike Walch commented on ACCUMULO-4490:
--------------------------------------

I have been experimenting for a few days and have gone through a few iterations.  I made a [GitHub pull request|https://github.com/apache/accumulo/pull/160] with some code that is not ready to be merged (more work is needed) but is ready for feedback.  Let me know what you think.  I tried to focus on script API and did a lot of wrapping of the current scripts.  After the API has been settled, I would like simplify these scripts.

> Currently, there are too many Accumulo scripts and config files in 'bin' and 'conf' respectively.  It is confusing to know which scripts or configuration file should be used.  Some scripts are just used by other scripts.  Some configuration file are only needed in rare situations.  Scripts also lack usage/help docs.
> Below is general plan to fix this:
> # Reduce the number of scripts in 'bin' directory
> #* Move implementation/uncommon scripts to 'scripts' directory
> #* Scripts in `bin` should be simple wrapper scripts that either call Java or implementation script in `scripts' directory
> # Scripts in 'bin' should have good help/usage information.
> # Only generate one set of example configuration in 'conf/examples'. User can use bootstrap-config to generate config for different environments.
> # Change bootstrap-config to only generate minimal config necessary.
> # For uncommon configuration files (like logging), fall back to example file in 'conf/examples' if file not present in 'conf'
