>
> Users who are familiar with Hadoop configurations (or any other service) tend
> to change the configuration files directly on the cluster nodes without using
> Ambari. It is quicker and convenient for them to just directly change the
> files and restart the service on a particular node rather than going through
> Ambari. The downside of this is that Ambari doesn’t recognize these changes
> and overwrites them during cluster upgrades or while reconfiguring services.
> Ambari should not be preventing the users from making changes themselves, as
> it would be too restrictive. On the other hand, it would greatly benefit
> Ambari, if it is aware of the manual configuration changes on the nodes as it
> can then alert the users of the changes before doing any of its own.
