Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-1197:
--------------------------------------
+1 for deprecating these methods, and removing them in a subsequent release.
+0 for (in a separate issue) adding new set(String,Writable) and
getWritable(String) methods.
> 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?
