Steffen Roegner reopened ACCUMULO-2601:
---------------------------------------


Thank you for the quick fix! Unfortunately this is not going to fix it completely either:

1. the post scriptlet will still be executed on upgrade
2. the 'hadoop fs mkdir' part will fail on the directory already existing - with the return code being 1 rpm reports

{code}
warning: %post(accumulo-init-1.7.0-1.el6.noarch) scriptlet failed, exit status 1
{code} 

I'd still propose to completely get rid of the post scriptlet

> Using yum or rpm to do a package upgrade (I built 1.6.0 and 1.7.0 packages for the test) with the new accumulo meta package the upgrade will trigger the post script inside accumulo-init which will attempt to execute the full initialization sequence.
> While this could be prevented by using the argument passed to the post script (see http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/s1-rpm-inside-scripts.html) I'd rather like to see the post script go away entirely as it requires the system to be in a perfectly prepared state to work.
