Konstantin Shvachko commented on HADOOP-5670: --------------------------------------------- Centralized configuration facility adds one more single point of failure. If LDAP server fails - everything fails. I am not arguing against centralized configurators in general. Just pointing out possible issues. Configuration may be just the first step. Then we may want to build centralize hadoop distribution repositories from which cluster nodes can pick required jars, etc. > Hadoop configurations should be read from a distributed system > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-5670 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5670 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: conf > Reporter: Allen Wittenauer > > Rather than distributing the hadoop configuration files to every data node, > compute node, etc, Hadoop should be able to read configuration information > (dynamically!) from LDAP, ZooKeeper, whatever. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
