Modify queue configuration format and parsing to support a hierarchy of queues. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MAPREDUCE-861 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-861 Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce Issue Type: Sub-task Reporter: Hemanth Yamijala MAPREDUCE-853 proposes to introduce a hierarchy of queues into the Map/Reduce framework. This JIRA is for defining changes to the configuration related to queues. The current format for defining a queue and its properties is as follows: mapred.queue.<queue-name>.<property-name>. For e.g. mapred.queue.<queue-name>.acl-submit-job. The reason for using this verbose format was to be able to reuse the Configuration parser in Hadoop. However, administrators currently using the queue configuration have already indicated a very strong desire for a more manageable format. Since, this becomes more unwieldy with hierarchical queues, the time may be good to introduce a new format for representing queue configuration. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
