Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-4944: -------------------------------------- The current version of this patch changes the syntax of configurations so that they may be nested. Couldn't this extension of the syntax be avoided by using "range-inside", e.g., something like: {code} <include xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" href="foo.xml" xpointer="xpointer(range-inside(//configuration))"/> {code} > Allow Xinclude in hadoop config file > ------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-4944 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4944 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: conf > Reporter: Rama, Ramasamy > Assignee: Rama, Ramasamy > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.20.0 > > Attachments: configInclude2.patch, includes_in_conf.diff.txt > > > It would be easier to mange the configuration of hadoop by allowing include > files in configuration file (file: hadoop-site.xml) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
