Eric Newton commented on ACCUMULO-2877:
---------------------------------------
I know of at least one user that calls {{setInstance}} because they do not load
their hadoop information using the classpath.
They are using the AccumuloOutputFormat and write to HDFS. There's no way for
them to specify their filesystem since the client code assumes the ability to
load a Configuration from the classpath. Calling {{setInstance}} allows them
to provide the configuration through external means.
Please do not remove this method.
> CachedConfiguration.setInstance never used outside class
