---------------------------------------------
[~billie.rinaldi] You're not the only one...
> Remove root username prompt from init
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: ACCUMULO-1319
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1319
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Sub-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.
