Kannan Rajah created HADOOP-11302: ------------------------------------- Summary: Configuration#set method should honor final properties Key: HADOOP-11302 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-11302 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.5.1 Reporter: Kannan Rajah Assignee: Kannan Rajah
Configuration class has several methods to add a configuration resource. The properties of this resource can override properties of previously added resources, unless they were marked final. According to the Javadoc for Configuration.java, the check for final properties is done only while loading resources. But it makes sense to do this check in the set API as well. Otherwise, users will be able to override final properties set by admin. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
