> We currently use ZooKeeper to store the user database (name and password) in addition to the authorizations and permissions for each user.
> ZooKeeper is designed for distributed configuration and synchronization/coordination tasks; it is not designed to be a persistent store. In this case it would be better to use a table to manage this information.
> I think this might reduce some complexity in managing that database, notably better recovery if ZK dies for some reason. Having a table might trivialize import/export of the user database (ACCUMULO-1722 is what made me think of this).
