For example, general.vfs.context.classpath.cx1=hdfs://nn1:9902/mylibdir/*.jar. 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.
general.volume.chooser	Experimental Available since: 1.6.0 The class that will be used to select which volume will be used to create new files. type: CLASSNAME, zk mutable: no, default value: org.apache.accumulo.core.spi.fs.RandomVolumeChooser

~~instance.dfs.uri~~	Available since: 1.4.0 Deprecated since: 1.6.0 Replaced by: instance.volumes A url accumulo should use to connect to DFS. If this is empty, accumulo will obtain this information from the hadoop configuration. This property will only be used when creating new files if instance.volumes is empty. After an upgrade to 1.6.0 Accumulo will start using absolute paths to reference files. Files created before a 1.6.0 upgrade are referenced via relative paths. Relative paths will always be resolved using this config (if empty using the hadoop config). type: URI, zk mutable: no, default value: empty
instance.rpc.sasl.allowed.host.impersonation	Available since: 1.7.1 One-line configuration property controlling the network locations (hostnames) that are allowed to impersonate other users. type: STRING, zk mutable: no, default value: empty

It should be changed prior to the initialization of Accumulo. 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`

Properties using this prefix should be in the form ‘instance.volume.config..=. An example: 'instance.volume.config.hdfs://namespace-a:8020/accumulo.dfs.client.hedged.read.threadpool.size=10'. Note that when specifying property names that contain colons in the properties files that the colons need to be escaped with a backslash.
instance.volumes	Available since: 1.6.0 A comma separated list of dfs uris to use. Files will be stored across these filesystems. In some situations, the first volume in this list may be treated differently, such as being preferred for writing out temporary files (for example, when creating a pre-split table). 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	Available since: 1.6.0 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
instance.volumes.upgrade.relative	Available since: 2.1.0 The volume dfs uri containing relative tablet file paths. Relative paths may exist in the metadata from versions prior to 1.6. This property is only required if a relative path is detected during the upgrade process and will only be used once. type: STRING, zk mutable: no, default value: empty
instance.zookeeper.host	Available since: 1.3.5 Comma separated list of zookeeper servers. type: HOSTLIST, zk mutable: no, default value: `localhost:2181`
instance.zookeeper.timeout	Available since: 1.3.5 Zookeeper session timeout; max value when represented as milliseconds should be no larger than 2147483647. type: TIMEDURATION, zk mutable: no, default value: `30s`

When set to `process`, deletes will suppress 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.data.constraints.NoDeleteConstraint` constraint. type: STRING, zk mutable: yes, default value: `process`
table.durability	Available since: 1.7.0 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.file.max	Available since: 1.4.0 The maximum number of RFiles each tablet in a table can have. When adjusting this property you may want to consider adjusting table.compaction.major.ratio also. 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. Prior to 2.1.0 this property was used to trigger merging minor compactions, but merging minor compactions were removed in 2.1.0. Now this property is only used by the DefaultCompactionStrategy and the DefaultCompactionPlanner.

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>`.

The compact command in the shell has an option to only compact RFiles without sample data. type: CLASSNAME, zk mutable: yes, default value: empty
table.sampler.opt.*	Available since: 1.8.0 The property is used to set options for a sampler. If a sample had two options like hasher and modulous, then the two properties table.sampler.opt.hasher=${hash algorithm} and table.sampler.opt.modulous=${mod} would be set.
table.scan.dispatcher	Available since: 2.0.0 This class is used to dynamically dispatch scans to configured scan executors. Configured classes must implement ScanDispatcher.
