One node for the GC, one for the monitor.  You can run multiple tracers, but 
it's very unlikely that you will need to, unless you are running more than 1000 
nodes and doing heavy tracing.

On most clusters, the master/gc/monitor/tracer all run on same node, usually 
with a zookeeper, too.

tservers were trying to connect to 127.0.0.1, so I replaced localhost in 
conf/tracers with the master, which eliminated that 'connection refused' error.

Thanks,

I don't think it is.

You can have multiple masters: they have a distributed election via zookeeper 
and the winner does coordination and the losers wait for the winner to die.

Updates to the documentation are cheerfully accepted. :-)

Does the documentation discuss what it means to have two masters in an Accumulo 
configuration?
