Description

If you use the .rpm or .deb install packages, the base package is installed. If you try to run accumulo, you find it is not fully configured, and the start fails. There's no "slaves" file or "masters".... worse, the helpful start script tries to create single-node versions of these files. The package isn't very useful until this is done.

We should layer packages to enable a node to run a given feature: tablet/logger, master, monitor, tracer. Installing the package will pull in the base package as a dependency and turn on the feature by installing a file somewhere. The start-here script should then read those features.

I'm sure hadoop or hbase are doing something similar: at least investigate good practices.

ese additional steps, basically writing some scripts that work from some configuration files in /etc, that would be nice.

The goal is to do something like:

 $ apt-get install accumulo-single-instance 

Or

 $ apt-get install accumulo-tserver accumulo-logger
