             Summary: Add FLUME_JAVA_OPTS which allows users to inject java properties from cmd line
                 Key: FLUME-2347
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-2347
             Project: Flume
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Brock Noland
            Assignee: Brock Noland
         Attachments: FLUME-2347.patch

In order to set java properties such as -X, -D, and -javaagent we have teh following:

* flume-ng takes -X and -D as native properties
* JAVA_OPTS can be placed in the flume-env.sh file

However, there is no way to set properties on the command line which do not start with -X or -D.

eg.

env JAVA_OPTS="-javaagent...." flume-ng ....

Therefore I suggest we introduce FLUME_JAVA_OPTS which sets properties from the env starting the flume-ng command. This will not impact users who use JAVA_OPTs in the non-flume environment incompatibly with flume.
