So, instance.volumes replaces instance.dfs.uri and instance.dfs.dir in 1.6. But, what's our long-term plan for these? I ask, because we still have internal code that uses instance.dfs.uri to resolve relative paths.
Should we force these to be re-written at some point (maybe on upgrade to 1.7)? Should we continue to support the deprecated properties indefinitely and continue the lazy re-write-on-compact? Do we transition by requiring instance.volumes to specify the volumes, and only use the old properties to resolve relative paths? My personal view is that we should provide an upgrade-prep/check tool prior to upgrade to 2.0, which checks and/or re-writes paths and verifies that instance.volumes is set. Does anybody have a different opinion on this? -- Christopher L Tubbs II http://gravatar.com/ctubbsii
