Rob Weltman commented on HADOOP-3479:
-------------------------------------

Hierarchical is much better than flat/generic for the configuration format. It 
is possible and even likely that human beings will be editing the config files 
manually for some time. Having all properties associated with a queue under 
that queue instead of spread around the file with no hard boundaries will lead 
to errors such as changing the wrong property, deleting some but not all 
properties for a queue to be removed, deleting properties from a queue that was 
not supposed to be touched, etc.

Strongly typed configuration allows for quick and efficient automatic 
validation as well, so we can reduce the likelihood of typos in deployed 
configuration.
