[Go-essp-tech] Non-DRS File structure at data nodes

[Kettleborough, Jamie]

own local requirements.
  
Can you give examples of the local requirements?   I'm still not clear
(apart from the inertia of changing what is already there on data nodes)
why the DRS directory structure is only recommended,  not required.  Or
is the inertia the dominant term?  (I *think* this is what Estani has
concluded - at least thats my interpretation of what he's saying).
