Harsh J commented on HADOOP-8415:
---------------------------------
There's no reason we can't add it. However, have you a need for always using
doubles (note that you can still use them via set(str, str), which is what
happens in the end anyway) in your app code?
I've had a need once before, but in my case falling back to a float cast was
OK:

Thanks for your patch against 1.x, can you please provide a patch against
trunk, and also add test cases that test this new addition?

> In the org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration class, methods exist to set
> Integers, Longs, Booleans, Floats and Strings, but methods for Doubles are

> latter case, the attached patch contains the missing functions.
