Elek, Marton commented on HADOOP-15007:
---------------------------------------
Thanks [~ajayydv] the patch.
But (to be honest) this is not exactly what I proposed. From my previous
comment:
{quote}My preference is:
# Don't use tags in the code at all (only return existing tags as a
List<String> to the ui)
# Use enums to represent tags
# Use string constants to represent tags
I agree with Anu that 2 is better then 3 and I agree we Steve that 1 is better
then 2.
{quote}
It could my fault as my proposal was not clean enough, but the current patch
implements the 3rd option. I agreed with [~anu] that enum is better than string
constant.
My proposal was to remove the PropertyTag class at all as none of the fields
are used. The only used code from PropertyTag is the contains method. But as
the _contains_ method is used to log something on the *trace* level (I am
pretty sure that it almost never never be logged in the universe) I proposed to
remove the PropertyTag class and the check and Configuration.java:3113 (That is
1st option on my list).
To avoid typo I proposed to extend TestConfigurationFieldsBase (in different
jira) to do a similar check based on the existing used tags (eg. every tag
should be associated at least 4 config keys)
I don't say this is the best approach, but it was my original proposal.
