> When testing Accumulo with MapR we encountered a few minor issues that should be addressable via documentation. They are:
> 1)  Accumulo 1.5 requires these jar files:
>                  commons-configuration-1.6.jar
>                  commons-collections-3.2.1.jar
>                  commons-io-2.1.jar
> They are not part of the MapR distribution and do not appear to be part of the standard Hadoop distribution either. These dependencies should be documented.
> 2) MapR has the requirement that the block/chunk size be a multiple of 64K. As a result the default Accumulo algorithm for defining the WAL block size does not work with MapR. This should be documented. In more detail...
>      By default, the property tserver.wal.blocksize is 0, in which case Accumlo sets it to 1.1 * tserver.walog.max.size, which defaults to 512M. This results in a MapR chunksize that is not a multiple of 64k, which means any writes to the WAL will fail.  So in accumulo-site.xml, set tserver.wal.blocksize to a multiple of 64K (such as 562M, which is about 1.1 times  the WAL max.  Insert these lines:
>            <property>
>             <name>tserver.wal.blocksize</name>
>             <value>562M</value>
>            </property>
> 3) Need to document the Accumulo log sync mechanism for MapR. Accumulo 1.5 changed the way the WAL is sync'ed and now uses the distributed file system.    A filesystem-specific property is needed to specify the class for MapR. Add this to accumulo-site.xml:
>            <property>
>              <name>master.walog.closer.implementation</name>
>        <value>org.apache.accumulo.server.master.recovery.MapRLogCloser</value>
>            </property>
