Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-6964:
------------------------------------------
bq. abort with RuntimeException at the time
This would be disastrous during a 'refresh' or 'renew' or
whatever-the-HDFS-team-decides-to-call-it-this-week operation. A running
daemon would bite the dust!
bq. sometimes it's hard to debug the wrong configurations.
Yup, agree. Luckily, HADOOP-7947 (which [~sekikn] is also working on!) covers
the validation part. It isn't at runtime, however.
> Allow compact property description in xml

> We should allow users to use the more compact form of xml elements. For
> example, we could allow:
> {noformat}
> <property name="mapred.local.dir" value="/disk/0/mapred,/disk/1/mapred"/>
> {noformat}
> The old format would also be supported.
