Arvind Prabhakar updated HADOOP-6871: ------------------------------------- Attachment: HADOOP-6871-1.patch Removed the whitespace formatting as that may have caused the javadoc warning from the previous automated test build. > When the value of a configuration key is set to its unresolved form, it > causes the IllegalStateException in Configuration.get() stating that > substitution depth is too large. > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-6871 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6871 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Components: conf > Reporter: Arvind Prabhakar > Attachments: HADOOP-6871-1.patch, HADOOP-6871.patch > > > When a configuration value is set to its unresolved expression string, it > leads to recursive substitution attempts in > {{Configuration.substituteVars(String)}} method until the max substitution > check kicks in and raises an IllegalStateException indicating that the > substitution depth is too large. For example, the configuration key > "{{foobar}}" with a value set to "{{$\{foobar\}}}" will cause this behavior. > While this is not a usual use case, it can happen in build environments where > a property value is not specified and yet being passed into the test > mechanism leading to failures due to this limitation. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
