-------------------------------------------
Summary: Remove root username prompt from init
Key: ACCUMULO-1319
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1319
Project: Accumulo
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Christopher Tubbs
Assignee: John Vines
Fix For: 1.5.0
The prompt for the root user name was added to get around the constraint that
System.GRANT permission cannot be granted. However, that's only true in the
ZKAuthenticator/Authorization component that existed previously. It may not be
true in the user-configured Authorizor.
Leaving this in for 1.5 would create an unnecessary churn between 1.4 and 1.6,
especially in light of planned 1.6 features (ACCUMULO-1300, which should
require a prompt to initialize the "local" user named "root" only). It also
conflicts with ACCUMULO-1024's intentions to leave user management for
pluggable authentication system outside Accumulo and in their own tools (such
as LDAP).
This prompt should not exist in 1.5.
