Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HADOOP-11640:
-----------------------------------------------
Can you give an example of where this would be useful? I do not think we
should commit this unless we have at least one use-case.
I also think we should consider supporting an escaping mechanism. Perhaps
commas prefaced by backslashes can turn into commas embedded in elements. This
would remove the need for changing the delimiter altogether, and be a
compatible change.
> 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.
