@phrocker Mainly, because that was not the solution discussed back in
Dec2015-Jan2016 on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-4085 and
would not follow precedent of the per-table custom configs for iterators,
per-table volume choosers, etc. It's also significantly more complex, and could
create chicken-and-egg problems if config is needed system-wide for scan-time
components or anything that might be pluggable which is run before the tables
are online.
