Robert Joseph Evans created HADOOP-8525: -------------------------------------------
Summary: Provide Improved Traceability for Configuration Key: HADOOP-8525 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8525 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Robert Joseph Evans Priority: Trivial Configuration provides basic traceability to see where a config setting came from, but once the configuration is written out that information is written to a comment in the XML and then lost the next time the configuration is read back in. It would really be great to be able to store a complete history of where the config came from in the XML, so that it can then be retrieved later for debugging. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
