Hemanth Yamijala commented on MAPREDUCE-970:
--------------------------------------------
Clearly, the function get_values needs improvement for handling invalid inputs.
But it doesn't warrant a blocker status ? Typical usages of this code come from
configuration files that are hard to get wrong.
I would definitely love to improve get_values, but there should be no pressure
to fix this as a blocker, IMO. Thoughts ?
> task-controller/configuration.c:get_values is broken
