Ajay Yadava commented on FALCON-1573:
-------------------------------------
Sounds good. So how about we create a convention to prefix falcon system
properties with "falcon." and all other user properties without any namespace?
That way old user properties can also be overridden by properties being passed
at command line?

> Key: FALCON-1573
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FALCON-1573
> Project: Falcon
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: oozie
> Affects Versions: trunk
> Reporter: Daniel del Castillo

> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: trunk

> Attachments: FALCON-1573-v1.patch, FALCON-1573-v2.patch

> The work in FALCON-1434 added the ability to specify properties for the
> purpose of enabling scheduler selection. However, this could be more
> generally useful as a means for users to submit custom properties that will
> be visible in Oozie workflows.
> This will enable users to reference properties in the entity XML itself and
> passing these properties down to workflows. For example, a process scheduled
> with the command:
> {code}
> bin/falcon entity -schedule -type process -name helloFalconProcess
> -properties custom.property:HEY
> {code}
> can reference the property _custom.property_ in the process XML as
> {code:xml}
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
> <process name="helloFalconProcess" xmlns="uri:falcon:process:0.1">
> ...
> <properties>
> ...
> <property name="customProperty" value="${coord:conf('custom.property')}"/>
> ...
> </properties>
> ...
> </process>
> {code}
> An Oozie workflow can then easily make use of such property:
> {code:xml}
> <workflow-app xmlns="uri:oozie:workflow:0.4" name="hello-falcon-wf">
> ...
> <java>
> ...
> <arg>--customValue=${customProperty}</arg>
> ...
> </java>
> ...
> </workflow-app>
> {code}
