Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-11640:
-------------------------------------------

This has extremely wide-ranging implications, especially for anything that is 
parsing the xml files that aren't written in Java. 

As a result, I don't think this would be a compatible change and therefore not 
suitable for branch-2.

> add user defined delimiter support to Configuration

> As mentioned by org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration.getStrings ("Get the 
> comma delimited values of the name property as an array of Strings"), only 
> comma separated strings can be used.  It would be much better if user defined 
> separators are supported.
