elek opened a new pull request #861: HDDS-1596. Create service endpoint to 
download configuration from SCM
URL: https://github.com/apache/hadoop/pull/861
 
 
   As written in the design doc (see the parent issue) it was proposed to 
download the configuration from the scm by the other services.
   
   I propose to create a separated endpoint to provide the ozone configuration. 
/conf can't be used as it contains *all* the configuration and we need only the 
modified configuration.
   
   The easiest way to implement this feature is:
   
    * Create a simple rest endpoint which publishes all the configuration
    * Download the configurations to $HADOOP_CONF_DIR/ozone-global.xml during 
the service startup.
    * Add ozone-global.xml as an additional config source (before 
ozone-site.xml but after ozone-default.xml)
    * The download can be optional
   
   With this approach we keep the support of the existing manual configuration 
(ozone-site.xml has higher priority) but we can download the configuration to a 
separated file during the startup, which will be loaded.
   
   There is no magic: the configuration file is saved and it's easy to debug 
what's going on as the OzoneConfiguration is loaded from the $HADOOP_CONF_DIR 
as before.
   
   Possible follow-up steps:
   
    * Migrate all the other services (recon, s3g) to the new approach. 
(possible newbie jiras)
    * Improve the CLI to define the SCM address. (As of now we use 
ozone.scm.names)
    * Create a service/hostname registration mechanism and autofill some of the 
configuration based on the topology information.
