I am +1 on this.
While I think it is confusing to conceptually have a GLOBAL_CONF wrt the
zookeeper global.js, good documentation and community feedback from use will
get us there.
I think UDF authors, when they 'guard' with the GLOBAL_CONF profile are not
just requiring that there **is** any config at all, they really always want the
GLOBAL_CONF **AND** some amount of the properties set there. Having them have
to do secondary validation of config property presence doesn't seem right.
I would like to see a jira for follow up documentation as part of the
stellar UDF author's guide.
Thanks for working on this and taking the time to answer my questions
