You can enable post delegation for a context, which will load classes from the context first instead of the parent first. Do this by setting general.vfs.context.classpath.<name>.delegation=post, where <name> is your context name. If delegation is not specified, it defaults to loading from parent classloader first. |

To change it after Accumulo has been initialized, use the ChangeSecret tool and then update accumulo.properties everywhere. Before using the ChangeSecret tool, make sure Accumulo is not running and you are logged in as the user that controls Accumulo files in HDFS. To use the ChangeSecret tool, run the command: ./bin/accumulo org.apache.accumulo.server.util.ChangeSecret type: STRING, zk mutable: no, default value: DEFAULT |

| instance.volumes | A comma separated list of dfs uris to use. Files will be stored across these filesystems. If this is empty, then instance.dfs.uri will be used. After adding uris to this list, run ‘accumulo init --add-volume’ and then restart tservers. If entries are removed from this list then tservers will need to be restarted. After a uri is removed from the list Accumulo will not create new files in that location, however Accumulo can still reference files created at that location before the config change. To use a comma or other reserved characters in a URI use standard URI hex encoding. For example replace commas with %2C. type: STRING, zk mutable: no, default value: empty |
| instance.volumes.replacements | Since accumulo stores absolute URIs changing the location of a namenode could prevent Accumulo from starting. The property helps deal with that situation. Provide a comma separated list of uri replacement pairs here if a namenode location changes. Each pair should be separated with a space. For example, if hdfs://nn1 was replaced with hdfs://nnA and hdfs://nn2 was replaced with hdfs://nnB, then set this property to ‘hdfs://nn1 hdfs://nnA,hdfs://nn2 hdfs://nnB’ Replacements must be configured for use. To see which volumes are currently in use, run ‘accumulo admin volumes -l’. To use a comma or other reserved characters in a URI use standard URI hex encoding. For example replace commas with %2C. type: STRING, zk mutable: no, default value: empty |

Restarting accumulo tablet servers after setting these properties in accumulo.properties will cause the global setting to take effect.

Idle compactions only take place for tablets that have one or more RFiles. type: TIMEDURATION, zk mutable: yes, default value: 1h |

These properties start with the category prefix, followed by a number, and their values correspond to a fully qualified Java class that implements the Constraint interface. For example: table.constraint.1 = org.apache.accumulo.core.constraints.MyCustomConstraint and: table.constraint.2 = my.package.constraints.MySecondConstraint |
| table.custom.* | Prefix to be used for user defined arbitrary properties. |
| table.delete.behavior | Experimental. This determines what action to take when a delete marker is seen. Valid values are process and fail with process being the default. When set to process, deletes will supress data. When set to fail, any deletes seen will cause an exception. The purpose of fail is to support tables that never delete data and need fast seeks within the timestamp range of a column. When setting this to fail, also consider configuring the org.apache.accumulo.core.constraints.NoDeleteConstraint constraint.type: STRING, zk mutable: yes, default value: process |
| table.durability | The durability used to write to the write-ahead log. Legal values are: none, which skips the write-ahead log; log, which sends the data to the write-ahead log, but does nothing to make it durable; flush, which pushes data to the file system; and sync, which ensures the data is written to disk. type: DURABILITY, zk mutable: yes, default value: sync |
| table.failures.ignore | If you want queries for your table to hang or fail when data is missing from the system, then set this to false. When this set to true missing data will be reported but queries will still run possibly returning a subset of the data. type: BOOLEAN, zk mutable: yes, default value: false |

Setting this property to 0 will make it default to tserver.scan.files.open.max-1, this will prevent a tablet from having more RFiles than can be opened. Setting this property low may throttle ingest and increase query performance. type: COUNT, zk mutable: yes, default value: 15 |
| table.file.replication | The number of replicas for a table's RFiles in HDFS. When set to 0, HDFS defaults are used. type: COUNT, zk mutable: yes, default value: 0 |

| table.group.* | Properties in this category are per-table properties that define locality groups in a table. These properties start with the category prefix, followed by a name, followed by a period, and followed by a property for that group. For example table.group.group1=x,y,z sets the column families for a group called group1. Once configured, group1 can be enabled by adding it to the list of groups in the table.groups.enabled property. Additional group options may be specified for a named group by setting table.group.<name>.opt.<key>=<value>. |
| table.groups.enabled | A comma separated list of locality group names to enable for this table. type: STRING, zk mutable: yes, default value: empty |
| table.interepreter | The ScanInterpreter class to apply on scan arguments in the shell type: STRING, zk mutable: yes, default value: org.apache.accumulo.core.util.interpret.DefaultScanInterpreter |
| table.iterator.* | Properties in this category specify iterators that are applied at various stages (scopes) of interaction with a table. These properties start with the category prefix, followed by a scope (minc, majc, scan, etc.), followed by a period, followed by a name, as in table.iterator.scan.vers, or table.iterator.scan.custom. The values for these properties are a number indicating the ordering in which it is applied, and a class name such as: table.iterator.scan.vers = 10,org.apache.accumulo.core.iterators.VersioningIterator These iterators can take options if additional properties are set that look like this property, but are suffixed with a period, followed by ‘opt’ followed by another period, and a property name. For example, table.iterator.minc.vers.opt.maxVersions = 3 |

| table.replication.target.* | Enumerate a mapping of other systems which this table should replicate their data to. The key suffix is the identifying cluster name and the value is an identifier for a location on the target system, e.g. the ID of the table on the target to replicate to |
| table.sampler | The name of a class that implements org.apache.accumulo.core.Sampler. Setting this option enables storing a sample of data which can be scanned. Always having a current sample can useful for query optimization and data comprehension. After enabling sampling for an existing table, a compaction is needed to compute the sample for existing data.
