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

> 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.
