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. > 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 > Assignee: rahul k singh > > 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.
