As you may recall we recently decided to rely on my.cnf type file in place of pex_policy to deal with passing mysql connection and authentication related values. (I've been using "~/.lsst.my.cnf" as default location) I am considering going with something similar for zookeeper. Specifically, I am thinking about allowing a subset of the options described here: http://kazoo.readthedocs.org/en/latest/api/client.html host, timeout, randomize_hosts in a file with default location ~/.lsst.css.cnf. We can expand to deal with auth_data, retries and such later... I don't want to go too far down this road just yet Thoughts or objections?
