Arpit Agarwal commented on HDFS-9847: ------------------------------------- Sorry I didn't understand your proposal to handle compatibility in the last para, agreed with everything before that. To continue the example of heartbeat interval do you mean we continue to query it with a unit of seconds for now and discard precision without throwing? > HDFS configuration without time unit name should accept friendly time units > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-9847 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-9847 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Sub-task > Affects Versions: 2.7.1 > Reporter: Lin Yiqun > Assignee: Lin Yiqun > Attachments: HDFS-9847.001.patch, HDFS-9847.002.patch, > HDFS-9847.003.patch, HDFS-9847.004.patch, HDFS-9847.005.patch, > HDFS-9847.006.patch, timeduration-w-y.patch > > > In HDFS-9821, it talks about the issue of leting existing keys use friendly > units e.g. 60s, 5m, 1d, 6w etc. But there are som configuration key names > contain time unit name, like {{dfs.blockreport.intervalMsec}}, so we can make > some other configurations which without time unit name to accept friendly > time units. The time unit {{seconds}} is frequently used in hdfs. We can > updating this configurations first. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
