Description

We currently expose JMX and it's possible (with external code) to bridge the JMX to solutions like Ganglia. It would be ideal if the integration were native and pluggable.

Turns out that Hadoop (hdfs, mapred) and HBase has "direct" metrics reporting to Ganglia through some nice code provided in Hadoop.

Look into the GangliaContext to see if we can implement Ganglia metrics reporting by Accumulo configuration alone.
