Thomas Weise updated APEXCORE-234:
----------------------------------
Summary: Better application configuration specification (was: Investigate
other ways to specify properties in property files)
> Better application configuration specification
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: APEXCORE-234
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/APEXCORE-234
> Project: Apache Apex Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Pramod Immaneni
> Labels: roadmap
>
> The current property file specification follows the hadoop configuration file
> format and this has led to some drawbacks.
> a. The names for the properties and attributes are verbose in the
> configuration file.
> b. When there are nested properties in operators the syntax deviates from
> the bean specification because it introduces some specific keywords in the
> specification like .prop and ,attr.
> There will already be some changes afoot based on the following
> a. When adding ability to specify single instance attributes
> (https://malhar.atlassian.net/browse/APEXCORE-233) implementing it in the
> current syntax may not be possible or lead to very unwieldy syntax.
> b. There are also other ideas such as one from David to have the ability
> to specify global application level attributes which possible require
> rethinking the current syntax.
> Users have also asked for an easier and more consistent way to specify these
> properties. This issue is to track the ideas and progress of these changes.
