Mike Baranczak commented on HADOOP-6948:
----------------------------------------
Just to clarify my comment: I don't really care if setting a property to null
is allowed or not. I just initially assumed that this was how you'd un-set a
property.
> There's no way to remove a property from a Configuration

> Key: HADOOP-6948
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6948
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: conf
> Affects Versions: 0.20.2, 0.21.0
> Environment: all
> Reporter: Mike Baranczak
> Priority: Minor
>
> The Configuration class has a lot of methods for setting properties, but it's
> impossible to remove a property once it's set. Trying to set it to null
> results in a NullPointerException, since java.util.Properties doesn't allow
> null values. When building a Configuration programmatically, this can be a
> problem.
