Andrzej Bialecki commented on HADOOP-1197: ------------------------------------------- That's a good point. Even though it means changing ~20 APIs in Nutch ... :( So, reluctantly, +1 from me. > 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? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
