                 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.
