ctubbsii opened a new issue #748: Establish a "connection string" concept for constructing Accumulo clients
URL: https://github.com/apache/accumulo/issues/748
 
 
   See https://github.com/apache/accumulo/issues/747#issuecomment-436349942
   
   The idea here is to establish a connection string concept, so one can easily create an Accumulo client object from just a connection string, and can easily specify a connection string in a configuration field.
   
   In the referenced comment, I proposed something like the following URI:
   
   `accumulo://[user[:password]@]name?zkHosts=host1:port1,host2:port2,host3,host4:port4`
   
   Other optional parameters could be added to the URI to support setting the path to a keytab file, or other authentication token information.
   
   The `Accumulo.newClient()` entry point could have a method called `to(String connectionString)`, and we can document the connection string syntax fully in the Javadoc and on the website.
   
   The client configuration file could have a `connectionString` property name. (maybe just `connection`?) Not sure the best name.
