Hi Steve
You should look into recommending configurations during install time of
your service. This lets the user know what options are being changed as a
result of installing the service, and gives the user a chance to accept,
modify or reject your recommendations.
This can be done by implementing a service advisor (ideally, this should
work within the m-pack).
Ambari Wiki:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AMBARI/Service+Advisor
Here's an example of a service_advisor recommending configurations for
HDFS:
