cloudera-scripts-for-log4j Script Scans all Parcels

Hello,

The script (by default) scan /opt/cloudera for jar/tar/war files. This has the affect of also modifying files which are not part of Cloudera's stack e.g. StreamSets managed by CM. Is there a way the script can check the top-level directories to ensure that they are Cloudera products before scanning?

Thanks.

Should be able to determine by inspecting the following file:

/opt/cloudera/<parcel>/meta/parcel.json

Thanks for the report. We will think about how to handle this.

And I'ld suggest, when working on such a feature, to add a flag (via a new ENV var?) to allow disabling patching the parcel .tar.gz alltogether

This would alleviate the issue with too small /tmp dirs, resp. non configurable tmp dirs for .tar.gz processing, see: https://github.com/cloudera/cloudera-scripts-for-log4j/issues/24#issuecomment-997813641
