Bhooshan Mogal commented on PIG-3441:
-------------------------------------
Apologies, please disregard my previous comment. I can still see the same issue
even after applying this patch. I forgot that I had a workaround in my code to
do a {{conf.addResource}} if {{Configuration.addDefaultResource}} does not
work. After disabling that workaround, pig can still not find the default
resources.
I then tried removing the default 'false' passed to the {{Configuration}}
constructor in {{ConfigurationUtil.toConfiguration}} and that seems to work
again, like before.
I'm still trying to understand the flow here, but its difficult because
{{ConfigurationUtil.toConfiguration}} seems to be called multiple times for
different reasons.

> Project: Pig
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: impl
> Affects Versions: 0.11.1
> Reporter: Bhooshan Mogal

>
> Pig currently ignores parameters from configuration files added statically to
> Configuration objects as Configuration.addDefaultResource(filename.xml).
> Consider the following scenario -
> In a hadoop FileSystem driver for a non-HDFS filesystem you load properties
> specific to that FileSystem in a static initializer block in the class that
> extends org.apache.hadoop.fs.Filesystem for your FileSystem like below -
> {code}
> class MyFileSystem extends FileSystem {
> static {
> Configuration.addDefaultResource("myfs-default.xml");
> Configuration.addDefaultResource("myfs-site.xml");
> }
> }
> {code}
> Interfaces like the Hadoop CLI, Hive, Hadoop M/R can find configuration
> parameters defined in these configuration files as long as they are on the
> classpath.
> However, Pig cannot find parameters from these files, because it ignores
> configuration files added statically.
> Pig should allow users to specify if they would like pig to read parameters
> from resources loaded statically.
