Uma Maheswara Rao G commented on HADOOP-2081: --------------------------------------------- {code} + * If no such property exists, or if the specified value is not a valid + * <code>float</code>, then an error is thrown. {code} I think you need to update this javadoc right? As per this, even If no such property exists also throws error. Same case for other APIs also. > Configuration getInt, getLong, and getFloat replace invalid numbers with the > default value > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-2081 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2081 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Components: conf > Affects Versions: 0.22.0 > Reporter: Owen O'Malley > Assignee: Harsh J > Fix For: 0.23.0 > > Attachments: HADOOP-2081.r1.diff, HADOOP-2081.r2.diff > > > The current behavior of silently replace invalid numbers in the configuration > with the default value leads to hard to diagnose problems.
