---------------------------------

             Summary: Deprecated configuration property can overwrite 
non-deprecated property
                 Key: HADOOP-9735
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9735
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0, 2.1.0-beta
            Reporter: Jing Zhao
            Assignee: Jing Zhao
            Priority: Minor
         Attachments: deprecated-conf.test.patch

For the current Configuration implementation, if a conf file contains 
definitions for both a non-deprecated property and its corresponding deprecated 
property (e.g., fs.defaultFS and fs.default.name), the latter will overwrite 
the previous one. In the fs.defaultFS example, this may cause client failover 
not work. It may be better to keep the non-deprecated property's value 
unchanged.

In the meanwhile, Configuration#getPropertySources may return wrong source 
information for a deprecated property. E.g., after setting fs.defaultFS, 
Configuration#getPropertySources("fs.default.name") will return "because 
fs.defaultFS is deprecated".
