Hemanth Yamijala commented on HADOOP-3479:
------------------------------------------
I looked at HADOOP-24 in detail. IMO, I feel there are 2 different issues we
are discussing in these two JIRAs:
- What HADOOP-24 described and concluded was to provide a way to read
Configuration from multiple data sources, including files, LDAP etc. and
separate the issue of filling up Configuration from a source (aka ConfSource
approach) from answering queries of Configuration itself, which is the
Configuration clas.
- What we are trying to evaluate here is whether the configuration format
(rather than it's source) be made generic enough to support a very generalized
structure of configuration - multiple hierarchies, named groups, etc.
For doing a good job of the latter, IMO, we should just try and define a format
that fits the current Hadoop configuration and the new Resource Manager
configuration, if at all. Trying to build something too generic without fully
understanding what else is required may not work at this level.
Even there, I feel like going with my original proposal of a separate
configuration for the resource manager part. We are still figuring out with how
the resource management functionality all turns out. If our attempts work well,
then we can always refactor to make the Configuration class capable of handling
both formats. Then we can make the ResourceManagerConf I defined in the patch a
sub-class of the main Configuration class, and reuse the code.
