Otto Fowler updated METRON-534:
-------------------------------
    Description: 
With the INotify library it is possible to receive notifications from HDFS on 
file changes. 
A service that utilized this and was configured with "rules" to process 
notifications on files of interest ( configurations, rules etc ) in the system 
would be able to send notifications to Zookeeper
This may allow for things that are better stored in HDFS to remain there, and 
not force the system to put things in Zookeeper just for change notifications. 

Issues:
* Inotify requires hdfs super user, what are the implications on a secure 
cluster etc?
* performance / scalability and load
* can it be deployed with yarn?
