Andrey Kuzmin commented on HADOOP-5670: --------------------------------------- Couple of suggestions (assuming zookeeper option) based on past experience with similar issue. 1. Splitting configuration into two parts - default and site-specific overrides (with further specialization down the line) - would simplify hadoop upgrade by minimizing upgrade impact on locally overridden options. 2. If zookeeper does not provide for node-local persistent caching, adding this option specifically for configuration data could support disconnected node operations if need be (say, for sanity checks on start-up). > 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.
