[jira] [Commented] (ACCUMULO-708) Modify ClassLoader to support different applications / multi-tenancy

["Keith Turner (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-708?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13493588#comment-13493588 ] 

Keith Turner commented on ACCUMULO-708:
---------------------------------------

I scanned through the patch trying to get a sense of it at the high level.  Tomorrow I will do a more in depth review.  Have a few comments so far.

 * use general prefix for new config properties.  general denotes its a configuration for all services (i.e. master, tserver, etc)
 * needs documentation.  How does a user know this feature exists and what they can do with it?
 * probably should not use org/apache/commons/vfs2 package.   If the commons project defines classes with same name and user loads Accumulo and Commons jar chaos could ensue.
 * I noticed there were a few accumulo site files introduced.  Are these for testing?   Some of them configured walog dirs which is no longer nesc in 1.5.

> I'd like to expand the current classloader to support loading classes from HDFS and different application contexts. I'll be modifying the ticket as the idea matures.
