Christopher Tubbs commented on ACCUMULO-2061:
---------------------------------------------
[~vines]:
Re A: We've done it before (local walogs directory). That's not to say it was
necessarily a great idea, but there is precedent.
Re B: I agree. I think when the tables come online, they should only see
absolute paths. I've voiced this opinion to [~kturner], who has been spending a
lot of time on 118. He seemed to indicate to me that it was easiest to do it
when the tablets load and that doing this portion of the upgrade before things
are fully online would add a lot of complexity. I'm not sure if he'd like to
weigh in on the impact of doing that.

> Key: ACCUMULO-2061
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-2061
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: master, tserver
> Reporter: Christopher Tubbs
> Fix For: 1.6.0
>
>
> {{instance.dfs.uri}} and {{instance.dfs.dir}} are no longer needed with the
> {{instance.volumes}} property.
> Together, these two fields are needed for upgrades from relative paths, but
> full URIs for volumes should be specified in the {{instance.volumes}} set.
> Instead of appending {{instance.dfs.dir}} to every volume, which is a bit
> confusing, they should be specified explicitly in the {{instance.volumes}}.
> Example:
> {code}
> <property>
> <name>instance.volumes</name>
> <value>hdfs://nn1/accumulo</value>
> </property>
> {code}
> should be equivalent to
> {code}
> <property>
> <name>instance.dfs.uri</name>
> <value>hdfs://nn1</value>
> </property>
> <property>
> <name>instance.dfs.dir</name>
> <value>/accumulo</value>
> </property>
> {code}
> This change simplifies the semantics of configuring volumes for Accumulo to
> use for storage, and is a bit more obvious that we're logically configuring
> filesystem volumes, not "namenode URIs".
