Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-6783: ------------------------------------------ While splitting the config may have made things easier for devs (maybe? is there any evidence that having xxx-xxx.xml did?), it would be MUCH easier from an ops and end user perspective if this was one big file again. Pushing around 3 files instead of 1 adds extra coordination and esp confusion for new users. [I've lost track of how many times users tried to connect the hdfs client to the nn web ui port.] If we want to retain the semi-autonomy, we could make stanzas for each project. > Rename core-* configuration files to common-* > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-6783 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6783 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Components: conf > Reporter: Chris Douglas > Fix For: 0.21.0 > > > To reflect the name of the project, the {{core-site.xml}} and > {{core-default.xml}} configuration files should be renamed to {{common-}} and > the references in documentation (including javadoc) should be updated. > Compatibility should be maintained, with a warning. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
