Assessment

Description

To interact with zookeeper via ficus, the PC needs to have a settings.json file that exists somewhere on the machine. Let's consider a few alternatives:

  • settings.json is bundled with the instrument-wrapper repository OR
  • settings.json is not needed altogether

As-is, we make ficus harder to use on target PCs because they need to install a file (probably) outside of the scope of a github repository. It makes deployment more cumbersome because if fields change, we need to manually find and change these settings.json files in lock step.
