[jira] [Commented] (ACCUMULO-3873) Ambari-installed client.conf not loaded by default

["Josh Elser (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-3873?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14566325#comment-14566325 ] 

Josh Elser commented on ACCUMULO-3873:
--------------------------------------

Playing devil's advocate: there are a number of workarounds which I could leverage instead of making a code change: 

1. Set {{$ACCUMULO_HOME}}
2. Set {{$ACCUMULO_CONF_DIR}}
3. Set {{$ACCUMULO_CLIENT_CONF_PATH}}

These all work, but can be irritating. I think the risk is very low to include this extra path and it's just one less thing users even have to think about.

> Billie did a bunch of great work to bring Accumulo into Ambari recently. In working on the Hive integration again for Accumulo, I noticed that I was having problems getting the client configuration file Ambari installed for me picked up in Hive.
> Hive was just doing a normal
> {code}
> ClientConfiguration.loadDefault()
> {code}
> The problem is that Accumulo was looking for {{/etc/accumulo/client.conf}} when Ambari has another level of directories in the path {{/etc/accumulo/conf/client.conf}}.
> I believe that we should also add this to the default search path for Accumulo.
