Radu Stoica commented on CRAIL-11: ---------------------------------- I like the idea to be able to set parameters from the command line. It would be very nice for trying a new parameter value quickly or for scripting. At the same time, having environment variables in the conf file is also nice to have for two reasons at least: a) we can set default parameters such as "crail.user $ USER", and b) it is easier to put all environment variables in a file than pack everything on the command line. Spark also allows setting configuration parameters from the command line with -conf so having this option would not be surprising. I think Hadoop also allows using environment variables so having this would also be similar. > Enable environment variable expansion in crail-site.conf > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CRAIL-11 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CRAIL-11 > Project: Apache Crail > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Radu Stoica > Priority: Trivial > > The idea is to allow using environment variables in crail-site.conf to allow > more flexibility when deploying Crail. > Pull request: https://github.com/apache/incubator-crail/pull/7 -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
