4. KnoxShell Improvements
Very specific pain points and improvements are articulated in the following article.
It comes primarily from the context of a general java SDK for Hadoop rather than from a scripting or commandline perspective.
The general usecase is from within a multi-user server side application context.
Each one of the points in this should have a JIRA and be addressed.
5. KnoxShell Tests
Add a testing framework and some example tests for the existing shell functionality. As we add more functionality it is hard to keep up with manual testing.
The proposal here to use the Mini-* (MiniHDFS, MiniKDC etc) testing framework that is used right now for kerberos testing only. We can use a similar setup to test out the shell scripts.
