> While working ACCUMULO-2615, I encountered a weird looping behavior rooted at {{HdfsZooInstance.getInstanceID()}} that seems to accidentally avoid a stack overflow. I'm a bit blocked at the moment on -2615 since my work exposed the loop.
> Here's a summary of the loop. The unit test {{SystemCredentialsTest}} in the tserver module exercises it.
> * Start at {{HdfsZooInstance.getInstanceID()}}, which calls to an internal {{_getInstanceID()}} the first time.
> * A volume manager is needed to find the instance ID in HDFS, so {{VolumeManagerImpl.get()}} is called.
> * That call needs the "system" configuration, so a call to {{ServerConfiguration.getSystemConfiguration()}} is made, passing the {{HdfsZooInstance}} object.
> * The system configuration is a {{ZooConfiguration}} object, and that is created from {{ZooConfiguration.getInstance()}}.
> * That factory method creates a {{ZooConfiguration}} object, saved as a static field. The code then tries to get the instance ID for the passed-in instance, which is the {{HdfsZooInstance}} object. So we're back at the top of the loop.
> In the last step of the second iteration of the loop, the factory method sees that the static field for the singleton instance of {{ZooConfiguration}} was set in the first iteration, so it returns it and doesn't look for the instance ID. That stops the looping and the call stack unwinds.
> (My refactoring work has trouble with this because it gets rid of the single static field in favor of a map of objects keyed by instance ID.)
> This loop indicates a mutual dependency between configurations, the volume manager, and {{HdfsZooInstance}} that should be resolved.
