rahul k singh commented on MAPREDUCE-861:
-----------------------------------------

small correction above:
getLeafQueues is actually getLeafQueueNames().

Some more clarification in terms of names of queue:

1 . The name of the queues would be <parent>.<child>.<grandChild>. 
for example:
{code:xml}
<queue>
   <name>q</name>
    <queue>
        <name>p</name>
    </queue>
 </queue>
{code}

In the above example : There are 2 queues. "q" is a root level queue and "p" is 
a child of "q".
The name of queue "q" would be "q";
The name of queue "p" would be "q.p". 
We would always use this completely qualified name in the implementation.

Users cannot name a queue like <queue-name>.<queue-name> as "." is used as 
separator.

> 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.
