Pallavi Rao reopened FALCON-1250:
---------------------------------

The patch caused a regression. See FALCON-1441.

"domain" is not an enumeration, so, validating against a domain will require 
ensuring that we have only properties related to a single domain in a 
.properties file. Domains that are used so far are falcon, prism, debug, it. 
But, it is pretty much user-defined.

Also, currently, properties is designed in a such a way that domain specific 
properties and properties that apply to all domains can co-exist. For example 
prism.* and *.* can co-exist in a single file as it does in the current default 
startup.properties. prism.* will take precedence when domain=prism. This makes 
it difficult to validate for "a" domain.

[~bvellanki], your thoughts?

> Throw error when keys in startup.properties do not start with "*." or 
> domain+"."

> In org.apache.falcon.util.ApplicationProperties.java, method doLoadProperties 
> only loads the keys that start with domain + "."  or "*.".  All other keys 
> are ignored.  
> If the keys do not start with domain + "."  or "*.", it is probably because 
> the user made a typo or mistake in the startup.properties. Instead of 
> ignoring these keys, I propose that an error should be  thrown.
