Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-2866:
---------------------------------------
That could work if you only close the hadoop namespaces, I guess. (The ability
of applications to define new attributes is pretty critical for map/reduce.) I
guess doing that would be a good push for normalizing the names to something
like having "hadoop." as a prefix for every framework property.

> Key: HADOOP-2866
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2866
> Project: Hadoop Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: mapred
> Affects Versions: 0.16.0
> Reporter: Aaron Kimball
> Priority: Minor
> Original Estimate: 72h
> Remaining Estimate: 72h
>
> A discussion on the mailing list reveals that some configuration strings in
> the JobConf are deprecated over time and new configuration names replace them:
> e.g., "mapred.output.compression.type" is now replaced with
> "mapred.map.output.compression.type"
> Programmers who have been manually specifying the former string, however,
> receive no diagnostic output during testing to suggest that their compression
> type is being silently ignored.
> It would be desirable to notify developers of this change by printing a
> warning message when deprecated configuration names are used in a newer
> version of Hadoop. More generally, when any configuration string in the
> mapred.\*, fs.\*, dfs.\*, etc namespaces are provided by a user and are not
> recognized by Hadoop, it is desirable to print a warning, to indicate
> malformed configurations. No warnings should be printed when configuration
> keys are in user-defined namespaces (e.g., "myprogram.mytask.myvalue").
