Gabor Liptak commented on HADOOP-12118: --------------------------------------- HADOOP-7947 covers the case of: "<name> or <value> does not exist in <property>" > Validate xml configuration files with XML Schema > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-12118 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12118 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Christopher Tubbs > > I spent an embarrassingly long time today trying to figure out why the > following wouldn't work. > {code} > <property> > <key>fs.defaultFS</key> > <value>hdfs://localhost:9000</value> > </property> > {code} > I just kept getting an error about no authority for {{fs.defaultFS}}, with a > value of {{file:///}}, which made no sense... because I knew it was there. > The problem was that the {{core-site.xml}} was parsed entirely without any > validation. This seems incorrect. The very least that could be done is a > simple XML Schema validation against an XSD, before parsing. That way, users > will get immediate failures on common typos and other problems in the xml > configuration files. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
