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

In your example above, queue1 and queue2 are instances of queues, and user1 and 
user2 are instances of users, right ? That is, they do not define a new group. 
So, I would describe it as:

{code:xml}
<group name="queues">
  <instance name="queue1" >
    <property><name>timeout<name><value>30000</value></property>
  </instance>
  <instance name="queue2" >
    <property><name>timeout<name><value>30000</value></property>
    <group name="users" >
      <instance name="stevel" />
      <instance name="julio" />
    </group>
  </instance>
<group>
{code}

Do you see any concern with the above format to represent your example ?

bq. What is the difference between a one-level array of values and a child 
group? not much

I don't follow this. By 'array', it is implied they are values of the same 
type. So, they are instances. A group on the other hand defines a new 
collection of properties. So, they are different, no ? Can you give an example 
to clarify ?

> 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.
