Excellent feedback, Keith. Thanks. I should have mentioned the REST API in the proposal. I'm not sure if I can use it for the CLI. I will certainly try, since I would like to adhere to the Ambari architecture as much as possible.
As for your other points: *3.1.1 loggers do not exists in 1.5 ... so would only need to consider them if working w/ 1.4 . I suppose you would want to work Accumulo 1.4, since that the current stable release.* Yes. I was going to work with Accumulo 1.4, but it is good to know that the loggers are not supported in 1.5. *3.1.3 Accumulo supports reading system config from xml local file and then zookeeper (whats set in zookeeper takes precedence). The nice thing about setting something a config zookeeper, is that process restart is not required.* Good to know this too. Does this only affect Zookeeper? I should distinguish between processes that may need restarts to load a configuration vs those that do not. Is the Zookeeper process the only one like that? *For section 3.2, are you proposing adding features to the existing Ambari GUI? If so, are the Accumulo specific?* I am proposing to add features to the existing Ambari GUI. The idea here is that something like user access controls can be generalized so that any Hadoop component being managed by Ambari is able to utilize them. I'm hoping that the Ambari PMC is OK with me doing this. I do not want to introduce any Accumulo-specific features that would make no sense for other components. * It seems that Ambari relies on RPMs. Its possible you may have to spend time creating Accumulo RPMs that are useful for Ambari. You may want to think about allocating some time for this. Christopher and John can give you more info about the current state of Accumulo RPMs.* This is a very good point. While building RPMs is not difficult, it does require time to setup the configuration and test the builds. I will include time for this in the proposal. Thanks again, Keith.
