I took a pass through the configuration docs ( http://localhost/documentation.html#configuration) and tried to make them more understandable. We really could do better at this. If we are going to take the time to make a configuration we should bother to explain exactly what it does and tell people how to use it properly. It would be really great if others could do a pass through and sanity check the docs with an eye towards the user.
Here is an example of bad configuration documentation: property: fetch.purgatory.purge.interval.requests default: 10000 description: The purge interval (in number of requests) of the fetch request purgatory What is a request purgatory? What is a purge interval? What does it mean to purge a request purgatory? How should I set this value? Or property: consumer.id default: null description: Generated automatically if not set. This kind of fails to answer the obvious question: what is a consumer id and why might I want to set one? I think this actually accounts for a fairly high percentage of the support load as well as just scaring people away.
