All accumulo properties have a default value in the source code. Properties can also be set in accumulo-site.xml and in zookeeper on per-table or system-wide basis. If properties are set in more than one location, accumulo will choose the property with the highest precedence. This order of precedence is described below (from highest to lowest):
| Location | Description |
|---|---|
| Zookeeper table properties |
Table properties are applied to the entire cluster when set in zookeeper using the accumulo API or shell. While table properties take precedent over system properties, both will override properties set in accumulo-site.xml Table properties consist of all properties with the table.* prefix. Table properties are configured on a per-table basis using the following shell commmand: config -t TABLE -s PROPERTY=VALUE |
| Zookeeper system properties |
System properties are applied to the entire cluster when set in zookeeper using the accumulo API or shell. System properties consist of all properties with a 'yes' in the 'Zookeeper Mutable' column in the table below. They are set with the following shell command:
config -s PROPERTY=VALUEIf a table.* property is set using this method, the value will apply to all tables except those configured on per-table basis (which have higher precedence). While most system properties take effect immediately, some require a restart of the process which is indicated in 'Zookeeper Mutable'. |
| accumulo-site.xml | Accumulo processes (master, tserver, etc) read their local accumulo-site.xml on start up. Therefore, changes made to accumulo-site.xml must rsynced across the cluster and processes must be restarted to apply changes. Certain properties (indicated by a 'no' in 'Zookeeper Mutable') cannot be set in zookeeper and only set in this file. The accumulo-site.xml also allows you to configure tablet servers with different settings. |
| Default | All properties have a default value in the source code. This value has the lowest precedence and is overriden if set in accumulo-site.xml or zookeeper. While the default value is usually optimal, there are cases where a change can increase query and ingest performance. |
The 'config' command in the shell allows you to view the current system configuration. You can also use the '-t' option to view a table's configuration as below:
$ ./bin/accumulo shell -u root
Enter current password for 'root'@'ac14': ******

A long running scan could possibly hold memory that has been minor compacted. To prevent this, the in memory map is dumped to a local file and the scan is switched to that local file. We can not switch to the minor compacted file because it may have been modified by iterators. The file dumped to the local dir is an exact copy of what was in memory. |
| tserver.files.open.idle | duration | yes | 1m |
Tablet servers leave previously used map files open for future queries. This setting determines how much time an unused map file should be kept open until it is closed. |
| tserver.hold.time.max | duration | yes | 5m |
The maximum time for a tablet server to be in the "memory full" state. If the tablet server cannot write out memory in this much time, it will assume there is some failure local to its node, and quit. A value of zero is equivalent to forever. |

| tserver.memory.lock | boolean | yes | false |
The tablet server must communicate with zookeeper frequently to maintain its locks. If the tablet server's memory is swapped out the java garbage collector can stop all processing for long periods. Change this property to true and the tablet server will attempt to lock all of its memory to RAM, which may reduce delays during java garbage collection. You will have to modify the system limit for "max locked memory". This feature is only available when running on Linux. Alternatively you may also want to set /proc/sys/vm/swappiness to zero (again, this is Linux-specific). |
| tserver.memory.manager | java class | yes | org.apache.accumulo.server.tabletserver.LargestFirstMemoryManager |
An implementation of MemoryManger that accumulo will use. |
| tserver.memory.maps.max | memory | yes | 1G |

if the ports above are in use, search higher ports until one is available |
| tserver.readahead.concurrent.max | count | yes | 16 |
The maximum number of concurrent read ahead that will execute. This effectively limits the number of long running scans that can run concurrently per tserver. |
| tserver.scan.files.open.max | count | yes but requires restart of the tserver | 100 |
Maximum total map files that all tablets in a tablet server can open for scans. |

Setting these properties in the site file will override the default globally for all tables and not any specific table. However, both the default and the global setting can be overridden per table using the table operations API or in the shell, which sets the overridden value in zookeeper. Restarting accumulo tablet servers after setting these properties in the site file will cause the global setting to take effect. However, you must use the API or the shell to change properties in zookeeper that are set on a table. | ||||
| Property | Type | Zookeeper Mutable | Default Value | Description |

Determines the max # of files 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 files than can be opened. Setting this property low may throttle ingest and increase query performance. |
| table.file.replication | count | yes | 0 |

| table.security.scan.visibility.default | string | yes | The security label that will be assumed at scan time if an entry does not have a visibility set. Note: An empty security label is displayed as []. The scan results will show an empty visibility even if the visibility from this setting is applied to the entry. CAUTION: If a particular key has an empty security label AND its table's default visibility is also empty, access will ALWAYS be granted for users with permission to that table. Additionally, if this field is changed, all existing data with an empty visibility label will be interpreted with the new label on the next scan. |
|
| table.split.threshold | memory | yes | 1G |
When combined size of files exceeds this amount a tablet is split. |
| table.walog.enabled | boolean | yes | true |
Use the write-ahead log to prevent the loss of data. |
| table.constraint.* | ||||
| Properties in this category are per-table properties that add constraints to a table. 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.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.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>. | ||||
