-----------------------------------

             Summary: Configuration.set() may be called before all the 
deprecated keys are registered, causing inconsistent state
                 Key: HADOOP-9854
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9854
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: conf
    Affects Versions: 2.0.5-alpha
            Reporter: Sangjin Lee


Currently deprecated keys are registered at various times. Some are registered  
when the Configuration class itself is initialized, but the vast majority are 
registered when the JobConf class is initialized.

Therefore, it is entirely possible (and does happen) that Configuration.set() 
is called for a key before its deprecation mapping is registered, thus leaving 
the internal state of Configuration in an inconsistent state.

We actually had this problem occur in real life, causing the set value not to 
be recognized.
