Amar Kamat commented on HADOOP-7851: ------------------------------------ Not setting a value for a configuration parameter is different from setting it to "". Hence when the parameter is not set, the default value should be returned. When the parameter is set (including "") then the specified value should be returned and not the default. Hence a simple check before invoking getTrimmedStrings() should suffice. > Configuration.getClasses() never returns the default value. > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-7851 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7851 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Components: conf > Affects Versions: 0.23.0 > Reporter: Amar Kamat > Assignee: Uma Maheswara Rao G > Labels: configuration > Fix For: 0.24.0, 0.23.1 > > Attachments: HADOOP-7851.patch, HADOOP-7851.patch > > > Configuration.getClasses() never returns the default value. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
