KNOX-1266 - Employ gateway-site config for default discovery address and 
cluster values


> Support aliases for default discovery address and cluster name
> --
>
> Key: KNOX-1266
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KNOX-1266
> Project: Apache Knox
>  Issue Type: Bug
>  Components: Server
>Affects Versions: 1.1.0
>Reporter: Phil Zampino
>Assignee: Phil Zampino
>Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.1.0
>
>
> Currently, service discovery requires 4 pieces of information to interact 
> with Ambari to generate topologies from descriptors:
>  * discovery address
>  * discovery cluster
>  * discovery username
>  * discovery password alias
> At present, there are 2 well-known aliases, which serve to provide defaults 
> if the corresponding details aren't specified in a descriptor:
>  * *ambari.discovery.user* - The value of this alias is the username for 
> authenticating with the discovery source
>  * *ambari.discovery.password* - The value of this alias is the password 
> corresponding to the discovery user
> This issue suggests that Knox could support aliases as defaults for the 
> remaining 2 discovery properties:
>  * *ambari.discovery.address*
>  * *ambari.discovery.cluster*
> This would make it easier for users who are defining multiple descriptors for 
> the same cluster. The discovery details could be omitted from the 
> descriptors, such that the defaults defined as aliases would be used.
>  
> If these new aliases are defined, and the corresponding properties are not 
> specified in a descriptor, the values of these aliases will be used as 
> defaults.
> If either of these aliases is NOT defined, and is also unspecified in a 
> descriptor, then discovery shall not be attempted.
> The Admin UI must also be addressed as part of this, since there is currently 
> some validation to ensure that a sufficient amount of discovery information 
> is specified in a new descriptor (if any is specified at all).
