Daniel del Castillo commented on FALCON-1573:
---------------------------------------------
I totally agree with your previous comment [~pallavi.rao], if there is a way to
differentiate between what users define and what Falcon sets to do its job then
this change could work as you guys initially thought and we can keep it simple.
If the dev team have been thinking of introducing namespaces this could
potentially be a good time to do that. What are your thoughts about this
[~ajayyadava] ?
I can only find one issue related to namespaces
([FALCON-1308|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FALCON-1308])
If you both agree to the introduction of namespaces then I'll raise one more
ticket to do this so we can put some ideas together.

> Project: Falcon
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: oozie

> The work in FALCON-1434 added the ability to specify properties for the
> purpose of enabling scheduler selection. However, this could be more
> generally useful as a means for users to submit custom properties that will
> be visible in Oozie workflows.
> This will enable users to reference properties in the entity XML itself and
> passing these properties down to workflows. For example, a process scheduled
> with the command:
> {code}
> bin/falcon entity -schedule -type process -name helloFalconProcess
> -properties custom.property:HEY
> {code}
> can reference the property _custom.property_ in the process XML as
> {code:xml}
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
> <process name="helloFalconProcess" xmlns="uri:falcon:process:0.1">
> ...
> <properties>
> ...
> <property name="customProperty" value="${coord:conf('custom.property')}"/>
> ...
> </properties>
> ...
> </process>
> {code}
> An Oozie workflow can then easily make use of such property:
> {code:xml}
> <workflow-app xmlns="uri:oozie:workflow:0.4" name="hello-falcon-wf">
> ...
> <java>
> ...
> <arg>--customValue=${customProperty}</arg>
> ...
> </java>
> ...
> </workflow-app>
> {code}
