Hi,

When provisioning multiple volumes, for ex. HDFS & Azure Data Lake storage,
it would be good to choose which volume we want the system tables like
metadata, root, replication tables to be created. Currently, Accumulo
randomly creates these tables on multiple volumes and the only way to
control this is to run Accumulo init on 1st volume so all system tables get
created on this volume and then add the other volumes.

I have also tried running 'config -t accumulo.metadata -s
table.custom.volume.preferred=hdfs://accucluster/accumulo' in an attempt to
move the metadata table to a preferred volume, in this case HDFS, but I
don’t see metadata table under HDFS. Also, ‘config -f
table.custom.volume.preferred’ does not show anything!
In short, I was wondering if there is any provision to "move" these system
tables across volumes, or is that a non-goal by design?

Many thanks

Regards,
Karthick
