Edward Capriolo commented on HADOOP-5670:
-----------------------------------------
I have been really intested in this ticket for a while. I think we can go in
circles for a long time. No solution will fit everyonones needs.
The best general solution in my optionion is LDAP. why?
* if you have an argument against ldap but are making a case for zookeeper
every argument you make against ldap could be made against zookeeper
* LDAP is easy to scale single master+thousands of slaves or multi master
configurations
* LDAP is the defacto standard for the configuration of network servers
* JAVA provides built in directory clients
* Current hadoop configuration with overrides per host can be easily
accomplished with LDAP
* yes nodes will have to bootstrap with a hostname or lookup a default host
* people that dont want to run LDAP for hadoop probably will not want to run
alternative XYZ either. For those people their are configuration files.
If someone seconds the 'I like LDAP idea' I will start working on it and submit
a patch for review.
