> I do not agree that "lack of upgrade support" is a harmful path when behind configuration. I was not saying "lack of upgrade support" is harmful. I was saying providing the user with a way to easily harm themselves would be when they believe they are improving the security of their system. > The only pain felt is when the user chooses to change this, and that would be pain they choose to self-inflict. Harm, to me, is something that a user could not avoid. Harmful or not, this is dangerous. Best case scenario for an existing cluster would be that Accumulo just won't start. Worst case would be locking users out of a system and having to re-initialize a completely new cluster. I don't know what would happen without testing. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
