[jira] [Commented] (SLIDER-756) Create accumulo client script

["Jonathan Maron (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLIDER-756?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14278736#comment-14278736 ] 

Jonathan Maron commented on SLIDER-756:
---------------------------------------

I imagine an ideal goal is to make the user's client experience independent of the deployment option (standalone or slider-based).  It seems like that is the aim of the "install" option - lay down the client bits in a fashion similar to a standard deployment?  I just wonder if the effort should be structured around the concept of shielding the user from the details of the back-end installation, rather than requiring a somewhat different client (if possible, that is).

> The idea behind this script is to make it easier to run the accumulo script (particularly the accumulo shell) against an accumulo instance running on slider.  The basic idea is to have:
> {noformat}
> accumulo-slider --app <appName> <accumuloCommand>
> {noformat}
> and a few extra commands like:
> {noformat}
> accumulo-slider --app <appName> quicklinks
> accumulo-slider --app <appName> proxies
> accumulo-slider --app <appName> --appconf <confDir> getconf 
> accumulo-slider --app <appName> install <installDir>
> {noformat}
> To run accumulo commands, the script requires ACCUMULO_HOME and SLIDER_HOME to be set in the environment.
> For the getconf command, you can download the conf to a specified directory, and in subsequent commands to accumulo-slider you could use the following to avoid having to download the conf each time:
> {noformat}
> accumulo-slider --appconf <confDir> <command>
> {noformat}
> For the install command, you specify an install dir, and it will pull down the app package, untar the accumulo tarball, and configure it.  (I have concerns that this may be a brittle process.)  Once this install dir is made, you could use it as a normal accumulo installation, using the accumulo script directly instead of the accumulo-slider wrapper script.  The install dir could also be used as an ACCUMULO_HOME for future calls to accumulo-slider for other app instances.
