[jira] [Created] (AMBARI-18830) Flume: run flume agent on Ambari with specified user

pingwang created AMBARI-18830:
---------------------------------

             Summary: Flume: run flume agent on Ambari with specified user 
                 Key: AMBARI-18830
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-18830
             Project: Ambari
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: pingwang


Flume agent can be started in two ways: by shell and by Ambari. 
From the terminal, any existed user can start flume agent as below:
# su - user01 -c "flume-ng agent -n a1 -f flume-agent.conf"
But from Ambari interface, all the agent processes are started by user "flume" defined by flume_user property.

Some customers has such requirement that they can specify the user when starting agent from Ambari.  Although flume_user property can be editable but it will always do the creation operation for the user, this can not meet the requirement.

Is there any possible to add a Flume_Run-as_User for flume to make agent run by the specified user? This property is just be used when starting agent?
