stack commented on HADOOP-1928:
-------------------------------
Chatting w/ Jim, rather than introduce a new INIT message, instead, change the
signature on method the regionserver invokes to tell the master its
reporting-for-duty. Currently it returns a void. Make it instead return a
MapWritable laden w/ master-supplied configs.
> [hbase] Have master pass the regionserver the filesystem to use

> The less configuration needed starting a regionserver the better. Currently
> the regionserver needs to read hadoop-site mainly so it knows which
> filesystem to go against. If it could get this info from the master instead
> when it gets the response to its reporting-for-duty message, then the
> dependency on hadoop-site.xml could mostly go away.
> Looking at regionserver, it looks like it would just take a little
> reorganization so that the hlog opening and the startup of worker threads
> doesn't happen until after we get our first response from the master.
