The misleading Configuration.set(String, Object) should be removed
------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-1197
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1197
Project: Hadoop
Issue Type: Bug
Components: conf
Affects Versions: 0.12.2
Reporter: Owen O'Malley
Assigned To: Owen O'Malley
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 0.13.0
I think that the confusing methods in Configuration:
set(String, Object)
getObject(String)
get(String, Object)
should be deprecated. Users expect them to work and in a distributed
environment, there is almost no way to make them work correctly. If some user
really needs the functionality, we should implement it right and require that
the objects be Writable and serialize them into the Configuration.
Thoughts?
