-----------------------------------
Summary: Introduce proper YAML parsing to Flink's configuration
Key: FLINK-23620
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-23620
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Runtime / Configuration
Reporter: Mika Naylor
At the moment, the YAML parsing for Flink's configuration file
(`conf/flink-conf.yaml`) is pretty basic. It only supports basic key value
pairs, such as:
```
a.b.c: a value
a.b.d: another value
```
As well as supporting some invalid YAML syntax, such as:
```
a: b: value
```
Introducing proper YAML parsing to the configuration component would let Flink
users use features such as nested keys, such as:
```
a:
b:
c: a value
d: another value
```
as well as make it easier to integrate configuration tools/languages that
compile to YAML, such as Dhall.
