It's fine to be more detailed, but ConfigException is already implied for all other config issues as well.
Default could be either null or just empty string. re: alternatives, if you wanted to be slightly more detailed (though still a bit vague) re: supported syntax, you could just say that while Pattern is used, we only guarantee support for common regular expression syntax. Not sure if there's a good way of defining what "common" syntax is. Otherwise LGTM, and thanks for helping fill in a longstanding gap! -Ewen On Thu, Oct 26, 2017 at 7:56 PM, Ted Yu <yuzhih...@gmail.com> wrote: > bq.
