Hemanth Yamijala commented on HADOOP-5919: ------------------------------------------ Discussed with Owen on the issues. We think the project split is a knotty issue and may need a resolution that merits further discussion in a separate JIRA. But we do have a solution that we think will work. Hence for the purpose of this jira, we are still proposing to go ahead with introducing the deprecated mapping. And handle the project split issue in a follow-up jira, maybe for Hadoop 0.21. Regarding the second point of a more complicated mapping, again we agree that valid use cases for this could exist. We think it is not necessary for the deprecation map approach to handle every single deprecation in configuration. In other words, if a complicated use case exists, it could be done by the application itself - outside the configuration API. Or an extension to the deprecation mechanism can also be looked at as a further enhancement. > Memory management variables need a backwards compatibility option after > HADOOP-5881 > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-5919 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5919 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Bug > Components: mapred > Reporter: Hemanth Yamijala > Assignee: rahul k singh > Priority: Blocker > > HADOOP-5881 modified variables related to memory management without looking > at the backwards compatibility angle.
