Zhimeng Shi commented on BOOKKEEPER-1099:
-----------------------------------------
Thanks for Sijie's explanation in email. I guess I should reply here rather
than in email directly.
When I start working on Salesforce as first time touch open source world, I
really don't understand why we use a so compplicated Puppet system to setup
machines. why not move all the service related setup logic into the deployment
step etc. I think Sijjie's explanation gave me some sight about the reasons.
Anyway, for this issue, even we want be flexible on the working disk, the
machine prepare setup like Puppet or other system should only create the root
working folder (in Salesforce that folder is /xxx/sfsdata). Then let the
service self create sub folders (journal folder and ledger folders here) needed
under it. Because that way can decouple the service internal file structure and
logic from the machine/disk setup process. If in future Bookkeeper want to
fully change the folder structure, you don't need modify the Puppet model for
the machine disk prepare.
Is that make sense? Or is it true in Twitter that you use Puppet to create all
the sub folders?
> Make bookie automatically create folders on new machine.

> When bookie start and found it need run bookie format to create folders it
> should do that automatically. That way will make new machine deployment and
