Hemanth Yamijala commented on HADOOP-3579:
------------------------------------------

Steve, yes, this matches with the list of requirements I had in mind. Groups 
and instances of groups are one way I could think of addressing these 
requirements.  I agree with you that we need to define the behavior for 
overriding, merging and default values. That is what I meant when I wrote that 
we need to define the behavior for 'loading configuration from multiple 
sources', but your terminology is very clear. 

Do you have an alternate proposal ? Do you see issues with the proposal I 
described above ? Part of the reason for putting up a proposal was to trigger 
this discussion, so your inputs are really appreciated.

> Hadoop configuration is currently a list of key and value pairs. There are 
> some use-cases to support configuring groups of related properties. There 
> could also be multiple instances of such groups. The issue is for adding 
> support for such configuration.
