             Summary: Provide a way to override parent configuration with a 
delete
                 Key: ACCUMULO-1619
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1619
             Project: Accumulo
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Christopher Tubbs
             Fix For: 1.6.0


Per-table configuration options are inherited from a hierarchy of configuration 
scopes. In some cases, it would be useful to denote a key as "do not inherit 
from the parent" (treat it as though it doesn't exist, possibly falling back on 
the default if the property is defined in the default configuration).

In such cases, a property key could be prefixed with a "!" character (as in 
"NOT") to "unset" a key that is set with a value in a parent scope.

This ticket removes the previously undocumented restriction that empty string 
is the same as a property not being set at all.
