Hi,
just out of curiosity: Is there any particular reason, why Hadoop projects or
ZooKeeper do not use apache commons configuration[1]?
I'm just evaluating it for an internal project. Would you recommend it or not?
I imagine, that it could help to make projects configurable either via XML or
INI files. Some people may prefer one or the other.
[1] http://commons.apache.org/configuration/
Someone's discussed it, I'm against because (a) there's a lot of
historical configuration stuff in there, (b) ini files are less flexible
than XML, (c) neither of them are very dynamic. when the NN goes down
and you want the DNs to reconnect to a different host, how do you do
that when all data is read at start time?
