Sean Mackrory commented on BIGTOP-1159:
---------------------------------------

Sorry for not having thought to mention this on this JIRA earlier, but as an improvement I'm wandering if this would be better as a symlink to a subdirectory of /var/lib/bigtop? That directory is already created and intended for plug-ins, although currently it's only use is for providing SQL connectors for use in Sqoop, Hive, and Oozie. At the time Roman, suggested having /var/lib/bigtop be a "global" repository for plugins, with component-specific directories underneath. This might be a good next step in that direction... thoughts?

> Apache Flume expects plugins to be dropped in /usr/lib/flume-ng/plugins.d/.
> But our package do not provide such directory since flume does not ship any plugin.
> Apache Flume package should create an empty directory /usr/lib/flume-ng/plugins.d/ and owned it.
> So plugins can be dropped automatically as packages into their own subdirectories.
