Alex Newman commented on HADOOP-5670:
-------------------------------------
Howdy,
This is really exciting as I feel currently that configs are a hard problem.
Currently it can be difficult to get transparency and flexibility depending on
the configs scope. Specifically, where do I audit if a user sets a particular
job paramater, or an admin sets a paramater for a particular system. It seems
that this jira is about setting up scope on a cluster wide basis. LDAP and
Zookeeper could allow configs across clusters.
This is something that gasp vms logicals got right IMO in that it is one
interface to solve all of these problems. I think one giant key value store is
a good first step, but realistically you need different permissions based on if
you are making a change intra cluster, inter cluster, for one box, for one user
or for one job. Being able to go back and see what the hierarchy of those
values, and having them being centrally managed would be really neat. Just my
two cents, I am just spoiled from my slow big machines.
