In fixing this to not default to root the script should no longer require user to run as root

https://github.com/mariadb-corporation/mariadb-columnstore-tools/pull/13

This ticket is marked as "IN TESTING" but has no sprint or fixed version. Please update

Build tested: 1.1.7-1

With a non-root (user guest) Columnstore installation and a guest user in the backup server, I did

./columnstoreBackup -zv 10.0.0.15 /home/guest/backukp

The backup tools no longer output the following and stopped:

[2019-04-01 22:24:34] ERROR: This script must be run as root or with sudo

But the backup failed because it still try to connect to the ColumnStore using root:

tee: /dev/fd/3: Permission denied
[2019-04-01 20:39:20] ERROR: Cannot connect to root@10.0.0.15
tee: /dev/fd/3: Permission denied
[2019-04-01 20:39:20] Check that ssh and passwordless login are available.
tee: /dev/fd/3: Permission denied

I tried using the --user and --install-dir parameters and it did work.

./columnstoreBackup -zv --user=guest --install-dir=/home/guest/mariadb/columnstore 10.0.0.15 ~/backup

If tried using only the --user parameter and the backup failed because it is still default to the /usr/local/mariadb/columnstore directory

[2019-04-01 22:26:14] [guest] ./columnstoreBackup -zv --user=guest 10.0.0.15 /home/guest/backup
ls: cannot access /usr/local/mariadb/columnstore: No such file or directory
tee: /dev/fd/3: No such file or directory
[2019-04-01 22:26:15] ERROR: Cannot connect to guest@10.0.0.15
tee: /dev/fd/3: No such file or directory
[2019-04-01 22:26:15] Check that ssh and passwordless login are available.

Closing this as it should be fixed. looking through history. No idea how it ended up "stalled"
