Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-2404:
---------------------------------------
We've dealt with this case before in map/reduce. I propose that we add a new
method in Configuration that is general:
{code}
/**
* Get an integer from a list of attribute names prefering the first.
* Should be called like:
* conf.getInteger(new String[]{"old.name", "new.name"}, 12);
*/
public int getInteger(String[] attribute names, int default);
{code}
Since this is generic code, it is reasonable to put it into config and it
enables changing attribute names pretty easily. Each of the servers then has a
single call to make to get the integer and in the next version they can drop
the old name and move to the current getInteger.
> HADOOP-2185 breaks compatibility with hadoop-0.15.0

> Key: HADOOP-2404
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2404
> Project: Hadoop
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: conf
> Affects Versions: 0.16.0
> Reporter: Arun C Murthy
> Assignee: Konstantin Shvachko
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 0.16.0
>
> Attachments: ConfigConvert.patch, ConfigConvert2.patch,
> ConfigurationConverter.patch

>
> HADOOP-2185 removed the following configuration parameters:
> {noformat}
> dfs.secondary.info.port
> dfs.datanode.port
> dfs.info.port
> mapred.job.tracker.info.port
> tasktracker.http.port
> {noformat}
> and changed the following configuration parameters:
> {noformat}
> dfs.secondary.info.bindAddress
> dfs.datanode.bindAddress
> dfs.info.bindAddress
> mapred.job.tracker.info.bindAddress
> mapred.task.tracker.report.bindAddress
> tasktracker.http.bindAddress
> {noformat}
> without a backward-compatibility story.
> Lots are applications/cluster-configurations are prone to fail hence, we need
> a way to keep things working as-is for 0.16.0 and remove them for 0.17.0.
