[jira] [Comment Edited] (BIGTOP-1159) /usr/lib/flume-ng/plugins.d/
needs to be created and owned by flume

--------------------------------------------------------------
I actually never thought about using unpackaged plugins :)
So we could look into implementing both:
* /usr/lib/flume-ng/plugins.d/ for packaged ones
* /var/lib/bigtop/flume-ng/plugins.d/ for whoever does not want to package their plugins.
At the end of the day, it's just a path on the classpath. So it does not have to be either way.
After looking at the Apache Flume binary, it appears to accept as parameters a list of plugins directory. So we can definitely implement it in another ticket.

>
> 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.
