Use cases > include, changing the names of variables to better match intent, splitting a > single parameter into two - for maps, reduces etc. > In such cases, we typically provide a backwards compatible option for the old > keys. The handling of such cases might typically be common enough to actually > add support for it in a generic fashion in the Configuration class. Some > initial discussion around this started in HADOOP-5919, but since the project > split happened in between we decided to open this issue to fix it in common. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
