> Knox's Hadoop XML resource parser is tightly coupled with another feature 
> called Advanced Service Discovery configuration in Cloudera Manager.
> There are several issues with that extension:
>  - makes the code much harder to read, understand, and maintain
>  - occupies a separate thread to monitor other files (we already have many 
> file watchers, it's always good if we can do some cleanup)
>  - One should really oversee the correlation between them and make the right 
> decision when touching one or the other (for instance, when changing the 
> ordering of these services)
>  - Since this is CM specific, lots of properties were added in the relevant 
> Knox [CSD 
> files|https://github.com/cloudera/cm_ext/wiki/Service-Descriptor-Language-Reference]
>  to give the flexibility for our users to enable/disable services during CM 
> service discovery. The management of those configurations is way too complex 
> and has a really negative effect on user experience on Knox's configuration 
> page within Cloudera Manager
> Therefore, I came up with an idea that will still allow us to keep the 
> original idea of excluding/including certain services to be 
> discovered/included in the generated topology files. I plan to implement the 
> following:
>  - Remove the entire {{AdvancedServiceDiscoveryConfig*}} code
>  - Former {{gateway.auto.discovery.address}} and 
> {{gateway.auto.discovery.cluster}} parameters are already taken care of in 
> HXR parser where descriptors are handled (they need to be set in upstream 
> configuration locations such as the Knox CSD)
>  - By default, all services are disabled even if a service available service 
> found in the given discovery address/cluster will be added to the descriptor. 
> This is because of the nature of  the existing logic in 
> {{{}SimpleDescriptorHandler{}}}. I'll add a new parameter suffix for service 
> called "{{{}services{}}}" which end-users can set to "{{{}a comma-separated 
> list of services"{}}} to include services in the generated topology (this new 
> HXR parameter is similar to the existing 'discoveryAddress' or 
> 'providerConfigRef' configs)
>  - since this is CM-specific, Cloudera Manager users need to make sure to 
> adopt their CSD files accordingly
> As a result, the {{.hxr}} file(s) will be self-contained and can achieve the 
> same functionality as we have now with the complementary 
> {{auto-discovery-advanced-configuration-*}} files.
