Mark Vigeant commented on HBASE-2006:
-------------------------------------

You're absolutely right Stack, and it certainly doesn't make sense to have 2 
diverging documentations that would only serve to make people more confused. I 
do believe though that the key configurations need to be more eloquently 
detailed.

I like your idea Lars, but I'm not sure how to do it since I haven't used XSLT 
before. It sounds like it could work though; from the looks of it all the w3 
tutorial all it takes is a XSL stylesheet. 

I think both ideas here are good and potentially very beneficial. I think that 
I could try to work on the XSLT transformation but it would require a much more 
involved committer to the project to create a more detailed summary of the key 
configurations (I'm thinking like how ZooKeeper is documented). Would that be 
too much of a hassle so early on, or should we wait until HBase 1.0.0?
