dhruba borthakur commented on HADOOP-4944: ------------------------------------------ @Steve: Good points. Thaks. I verified that all of the issues you mentioned is actually handled by the Xerces library. It can detect recursive includes. The hadoop Configuration.get() method generates an RuntimeException when this occurs. I plan to commit this patch to 0.20 and trunk. > 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.
