[jira] [Commented] (ACCUMULO-2061) Deprecate instance.dfs.uri and instance.dfs.dir

Christopher Tubbs commented on ACCUMULO-2061:
---------------------------------------------

[~vines]:

Re A: We've done it before (local walogs directory). That's not to say it was necessarily a great idea, but there is precedent.

Re B: I agree. I think when the tables come online, they should only see absolute paths. I've voiced this opinion to [~kturner], who has been spending a lot of time on 118. He seemed to indicate to me that it was easiest to do it when the tablets load and that doing this portion of the upgrade before things are fully online would add a lot of complexity. I'm not sure if he'd like to weigh in on the impact of doing that.

> {{instance.dfs.uri}} and {{instance.dfs.dir}} are no longer needed with the {{instance.volumes}} property.
> Together, these two fields are needed for upgrades from relative paths, but full URIs for volumes should be specified in the {{instance.volumes}} set.
> Instead of appending {{instance.dfs.dir}} to every volume, which is a bit confusing, they should be specified explicitly in the {{instance.volumes}}.
> Example:
> {code}
>  <property>
>     <name>instance.volumes</name>
>     <value>hdfs://nn1/accumulo</value>
>   </property>
> {code}
> should be equivalent to
> {code}
>  <property>
>     <name>instance.dfs.uri</name>
>     <value>hdfs://nn1</value>
>   </property>
>  <property>
>     <name>instance.dfs.dir</name>
>     <value>/accumulo</value>
>   </property>
> {code}
> This change simplifies the semantics of configuring volumes for Accumulo to use for storage, and is a bit more obvious that we're logically configuring filesystem volumes, not "namenode URIs".
