> 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?
