Context Object for initialization

I am not sure if this should be done or not so I am opening an issue for discussion/feedback/design ideas.

InitializeContext would be the object to represent the special internal state of Accumulo, before/during its initialization. This became troublesome when I started touching the VolumeManager.

server/base/src/main/java/org/apache/accumulo/server/InitializeContext.java

public class InitializeContext extends ServerContext {

  private VolumeManager fs;


  public InitializeContext(SiteConfiguration siteConf, Configuration hadoopConf) throws IOException {

    super(siteConf, hadoopConf);

    fs = VolumeManagerImpl.get(siteConf, hadoopConf);

}

Most of the changes would be with server/base/src/main/java/org/apache/accumulo/server/init/Initialize.java. I was thinking maybe this context object could have a simple boolean state to check whether Accumulo has been initialized or not. Thoughts?

Read server/base/src/main/java/org/apache/accumulo/server/InitializeContext.java and server/base/src/main/java/org/apache/accumulo/server/init/Initialize.java first. Review the unresolved discussion about representing initialization state and VolumeManager access; done requires an agreed design and implementation scope, which this issue currently does not define.
