Josh Elser commented on ACCUMULO-3338:
--------------------------------------

bq. We do not include vendor specific paths for any other distribution and I 
don't think we should start now.

We already have made the decision, and have code included in Apache Accumulo, 
that vendor specific changes are acceptable if someone takes the time to make a 
vendor specific change. Note: o.a.a.s.m.recovery.MapRLogCloser. I don't see a 
reason why configuration files should be treated differently than source code.

bq. I've run into many many cases where users treat the example configurations 
as appropriate for production use

That may be the case, but I don't believe that's actually feasible to 
accomplish. I don't know how it's possible to provide an out of the box 
configuration file or configuration script which is actually secure. 
Additionally, this change did not initially introduce this, but continued the 
practice of having these example configurations work with HDP's layout 
({{/usr/lib/hadoop-hdfs}}, and others are HDP specific).
