Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-10446: ----------------------------------------- If there's something you MUST address it is references in the objects {{${something}}} -used a lot and not something you can ignore # I don't think its strictly defined yet # from the code it is: attempt local, then the base resources # and finally java system properties # I don't know about transitive reference and if, when and how recursion & loops are detected. Equally interesting is "when does this take place?", the answer being "when someone calls getXXX()". You have to leave the values unresolved when you serialize a config & send it over the wire to the far end; only your bit of the config is forwarded, the far end resolves values using its base resources and system properties. > native code for reading Hadoop configuration XML files > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-10446 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10446 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Sub-task > Reporter: Colin Patrick McCabe > > We need to have a way to read Hadoop configuration XML files in the native > HDFS and YARN clients. This will allow those clients to discover the > locations of NameNodes, YARN daemons, and other configuration settings, etc. > etc. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
