Todd Lipcon commented on HADOOP-5670: ------------------------------------- Another nice thing about this is that you can use DNS for a super-simple HA/metaconfig system. Simply point all the hadoop nodes at http://confmaster/config, then set up CNAME or A records on the local domain network to the right machines. If one confmaster is down, it'll just pull from another. > 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.
