-    <p>Accumulo must implement a number of distributed, multi-step operations to support
-the client API. Creating a new table is a simple example of an atomic client call
-which requires multiple steps in the implementation: get a unique table ID, configure
-default table permissions, populate information in ZooKeeper to record the table’s
-existence, create directories in HDFS for the table’s data, etc. Implementing these
-steps in a way that is tolerant to node failure and other concurrent operations is
-very difficult to achieve. Accumulo includes a Fault-Tolerant Executor (FATE) which
-is widely used server-side to implement the client API safely and correctly.</p>
+    <p>Accumulo has the following configuration files which can be found in the
+<code class="highlighter-rouge">conf/</code> directory of the Accumulo release tarball.</p>

+<p>Configures logging for most Accumulo services (i.e <a href="/docs/2.x/getting-started/design#master">Master</a>, <a href="/docs/2.x/getting-started/design#tablet-server">Tablet Server</a>, <a href="/docs/2.x/getting-started/design#garbage-collector">Garbage Collector</a>) except for the Monitor.</p>
+

-<p>Fault-Tolerant Executor (FATE) is the implementation detail which ensures that tables in creation when the
-Master dies will be successfully created when another Master process is started.
-This alleviates the need for any external tools to correct some bad state – Accumulo can
-undo the failure and self-heal without any external intervention.</p>
+<p>Configures logging for the <a href="/docs/2.x/getting-started/design#monitor">Monitor</a>.</p>
 
-<h2 id="overview">Overview</h2>
+<h3 id="log4jproperties">log4j.properties</h3>
 
-<p>FATE consists of two primary components: a repeatable, persisted operation (REPO), a storage
-layer for REPOs and an execution system to run REPOs. Accumulo uses ZooKeeper as the storage
-layer for FATE and the Accumulo Master acts as the execution system to run REPOs.</p>
+<p>Configures logging for Accumulo commands (i.e <code class="highlighter-rouge">accumulo init</code>, <code class="highlighter-rouge">accumulo shell</code>, etc).</p>
 
-<p>The important characteristic of REPOs are that they implemented in a way that is idempotent:
-every operation must be able to undo or replay a partial execution of itself. Requiring the
-implementation of the operation to support this functional greatly simplifies the execution
-of these operations. This property is also what guarantees safety in light of failure conditions.</p>
+<h2 id="host-files">Host files</h2>
 
-<h2 id="administration">Administration</h2>
+<p>The <code class="highlighter-rouge">accumulo-cluster</code> script uses the host files below to determine where Accumulo processes should be run.
+These files are not in <code class="highlighter-rouge">conf/</code> directory the Accumulo release tarball by default. They can be created by running
+the command <code class="highlighter-rouge">accumulo-cluster create-config</code>.</p>
 
-<p>Sometimes, it is useful to inspect the current FATE operations, both pending and executing.
-For example, a command that is not completing could be blocked on the execution of another
-operation. Accumulo provides an Accumulo shell command to interact with fate.</p>
+<h3 id="gc">gc</h3>
 
-<p>The <code class="highlighter-rouge">fate</code> shell command accepts a number of arguments for different functionality:
-<code class="highlighter-rouge">list</code>/<code class="highlighter-rouge">print</code>, <code class="highlighter-rouge">fail</code>, <code class="highlighter-rouge">delete</code>, <code class="highlighter-rouge">dump</code>.</p>
+<p>Contains a list of hosts where <a href="/docs/2.x/getting-started/design#garbage-collector">Garbage Collector</a> processes should run. While only one host is needed, others can be specified
+to run standby Garbage Collectors that can take over if the lead Garbage Collector fails.</p>
 
-<h3 id="listprint">List/Print</h3>
+<h3 id="masters">masters</h3>
 
-<p>Without any additional arguments, this command will print all operations that still exist in
-the FATE store (ZooKeeper). This will include active, pending, and completed operations (completed
-operations are lazily removed from the store). Each operation includes a unique “transaction ID”, the
-state of the operation (e.g. <code class="highlighter-rouge">NEW</code>, <code class="highlighter-rouge">IN_PROGRESS</code>, <code class="highlighter-rouge">FAILED</code>), any locks the
-transaction actively holds and any locks it is waiting to acquire.</p>
+<p>Contains a list of hosts where <a href="/docs/2.x/getting-started/design#master">Master</a> processes should run. While only one host needed, others can be specified
+to run on standby Masters that can take over if the lead Master fails.</p>
 
-<p>This option can also accept transaction IDs which will restrict the list of transactions shown.</p>
+<h3 id="monitor">monitor</h3>
 
-<h3 id="fail">Fail</h3>
+<p>Contains a list of hosts where <a href="/docs/2.x/getting-started/design#monitor">Monitor</a> processes should run. While only one host is needed, others can be specified
+to run standby Monitors that can take over if the lead Monitor fails.</p>
 
-<p>This command can be used to manually fail a FATE transaction and requires a transaction ID
-as an argument. Failing an operation is not a normal procedure and should only be performed
-by an administrator who understands the implications of why they are failing the operation.</p>
+<h3 id="tservers">tservers</h3>
 
-<h3 id="delete">Delete</h3>
+<p>Contains list of hosts where <a href="/docs/2.x/getting-started/design#tablet-server">Tablet Server</a> processes should run. While only one host is needed, it is recommended that
+multiple tablet servers are run for improved fault tolerance and peformance.</p>
 
-<p>This command requires a transaction ID and will delete any locks that the transaction
-holds. Like the fail command, this command should only be used in extreme circumstances
-by an administrator that understands the implications of the command they are about to
-invoke. It is not normal to invoke this command.</p>
+<h3 id="tracers">tracers</h3>
 
-<h3 id="dump">Dump</h3>
+<p>Contains a list of hosts where <a href="/docs/2.x/getting-started/design#tracer">Tracer</a> processes should run. While only one host is needed, others can be specified
+to run standby Tracers that can take over if the lead Tracer fails.</p>
 
-<p>This command accepts zero more transaction IDs.  If given no transaction IDs,
-it will dump all active transactions.  A FATE operations is compromised as a
-sequence of REPOs.  In order to start a FATE transaction, a REPO is pushed onto
-a per transaction REPO stack.  The top of the stack always contains the next
-REPO the FATE transaction should execute.  When a REPO is successful it may
-return another REPO which is pushed on the stack.  The <code class="highlighter-rouge">dump</code> command will
-print all of the REPOs on each transactions stack.  The REPOs are serialized to
-JSON in order to make them human readable.</p>
