Tried a 2 node combined install, local disk on centos 7. Everything goes well until starting up the cluster. The script fails because the rsync command is using the root user rather than my test user mcs:

i.e. it is incorrectly trying to use root rather than my mcs user

also pre-uninstall fails with errors because it assumes /usr/local install. Changing the prefix variable fixes that.

The pre-uninstall works just like the post-install, you have to pass it the install dir path

./mariadb/columnstore/bin/pre-uninstall --installdir=$HOME/mariadb/columnstore

fixed the mysql-rep setup issue.... Fix is in the mcol-61 repo, which is for the amazona AMI feature... So the there MCOL-404 non-root install fixes will be checked into develop when the MCOL-61 is checked into root...

But did competed a non-root multi-node combo install, but still more testing will be done before passing on to review and test

MariaDB Columnstore Database Platform Starting, please wait ....... DONE

Run MariaDB Columnstore Replication Setup.. DONE

MariaDB Columnstore Install Successfully Completed, System is Active

Enter the following command to define MariaDB Columnstore Alias Commands

. /home/centos/mariadb/columnstore/bin/columnstoreAlias

Enter 'mcsmysql' to access the MariaDB Columnstore SQL console
Enter 'mcsadmin' to access the MariaDB Columnstore Admin console

development branch has been updated with fixes for the non-root multi-node install.
Some came in during the merge of mcol-61 branch and others were made after the fact..
