----------------------------------
Attachment: DESIGN-SAMZA-348-0.pdf

I'm attaching a preliminary design doc. There are still some TODOs in the
implementation section, but the rest of the document is pretty in-depth.
The goal is to get feedback.
> Configure Samza jobs through a stream

> Samza's existing config setup is problematic for a number of reasons:
> # It's completely immutable once a job starts. This prevents any dynamic
> reconfiguration and auto-scaling. It is debatable whether we want these
> feature or not, but our existing implementation actively prevents it. See
> SAMZA-334 for discussion.
> # We pass existing configuration through environment variables. YARN exports
> environment variables in a shell script, which limits the size to the varargs
> length on the machine. This is usually ~128KB. See SAMZA-333 and SAMZA-337
> for details.
> # User-defined configuration (the Config object) and programmatic
> configuration (checkpoints and TaskName:State mappings (see SAMZA-123)) are
> handled differently. It's debatable whether this makes sense.
> In SAMZA-123, [~jghoman] and I propose implementing a ConfigLog. This log
> would replace both the checkpoint topic and the existing config environment
> variables in SamzaContainer and Samza's YARN AM.
> I'd like to keep this ticket's scope limited to just the implementation of
> the ConfigLog, and not re-designing how Samza's config is used in the code
> (SAMZA-40). We should, however, discuss how this feature would affect dynamic
> reconfiguration/auto-scaling.
