Josh,

I have a simple feature enhancement for accumulo that would help
developers; is there a place to put in suggestions/requests?


=====================

i develop on linux (normally a VM). i would like to install a few
accumulo versions (1.6.6, 1.7.2, 1.8.0) on the same VM running on the
same hadoop pseudo cluster all with different zookeeper instances and
different root directories in hdfs. this way i can turn on the accumulo
version i want and run my code on that version.

i can configure multiple zookeeper instances; however, accumulo puts all
its tables in hdfs under /accumulo. it would be nice to configure that
root path; then i could create /accumulo166, /accumulo172, accumulo180,
etc and only have to turn on/off different versions of accumulo (once
they were initially configured in zookeeper)

i don’t think this would be a big change; should only need a new
property in accumulo-site.xml and expose the root directory using that
property

=====================

Thank You,
Matthew Purdy
