Summary: Augmenting Configuration to accomodate <description> Key: HADOOP-12021 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12021 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: New Feature Components: conf Reporter: Lewis John McGibbney Priority: Minor Fix For: 1.3.0, 2.8.0 Over on the [common-dev|http://www.mail-archive.com/common-dev%40hadoop.apache.org/msg16099.html] ML I explained a use case which requires me to obtain the value of the Configuration <description> tags. [~cnauroth] advised me to raise the issue to Jira for discussion. I am happy to provide a patch so that the <description> values are parsed out of the various XML files and stored, and also that the Configuration class is augmented to provide accessors to accommodate the use case. I wanted to find out what people think about this one and whether I should check out Hadoop source and submit a patch. If you guys could provide some advice it would be appreciated. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
