Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-5670:
------------------------------------------
The amount of churn in a configuration file that only points to where to read
the real configuration data is significantly lower than changes in Hadoop's
configuration in my experience. For example, our system level ldap.conf has
changed maybe three times in 1 year, and most of those were growing pains of a
new infrastructure/data center. I have lost track of how many times we have
needed to change and bounce the jobtracker ACLs in the past *week*.
Additionally, HTTP, LDAP, etc, have real, proven HA solutions. They are much
less likely to go down than the Hadoop grids they would be supporting....

> (dynamically!) from LDAP, ZooKeeper, whatever.
