------------------------------------

             Summary: Lack of information regarding `setiter` and `config` for SKVI configuration
                 Key: ACCUMULO-1136
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1136
             Project: Accumulo
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: docs
            Reporter: Josh Elser
            Assignee: Josh Elser
            Priority: Minor


In terms of the documentation, it would be great to augment the Table Configuration section of the user manual. Iterators are central to Accumulo's functionality so it would aid users to see an entire iterator life cycle:
* Develop iterator by extending...
* Install iterator as jar to lib/ext
* Run as in a client (fragment is shown)
* Set via shell (setiter, config for options)

There are hints to using config for existing filters but not how to configure custom iterator code. For example, installing custom iterator code for non-scan contexts is unclear.
