I am not sure if the string in the test is going to be considered as yet another place where the config is used and get simply renamed as opposed to insisting its importance to remind backward compatibility. 2. I also feel this new pattern targets only this config and we still need to apply this across our configs. For these reasons, I'd prefer to reuse the variable. In general, I agree maintaining backwards compatibility of configurations and treating them as public API isn't quite intuitive. One option to make it more explicit and intuitive is to move configurations to samza-api module. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
