---------------------------------------------------------------

Namespace had never been a hard requirement, for example it didn't block FALCON-1434. Even if we decide to have namespaces it should not be a mandatory requirement for it to be addressed as part of this JIRA. It can, and according to me it should, be addressed in another JIRA without needing to rewrite current patch completely(before next release if backwards compatibility is a concern). I believe this JIRA adds value in it's current form and should be committed. Agreed?

> The work in FALCON-1434 added the ability to specify properties for the purpose of enabling scheduler selection. However, this could be more generally useful as a means for users to submit custom properties that will be visible in Oozie workflows.
> This will enable users to reference properties in the entity XML itself and passing these properties down to workflows. For example, a process scheduled with the command:
> {code}
> bin/falcon entity -schedule -type process -name helloFalconProcess -properties custom.property:HEY
> {code}
> can reference the property _custom.property_ in the process XML as
> {code:xml}
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
> <process name="helloFalconProcess" xmlns="uri:falcon:process:0.1">
>   ...
>   <properties>
>     ...
>     <property name="customProperty" value="${coord:conf('custom.property')}"/>
>     ...
>   </properties>
>   ...
> </process>
> {code}
> An Oozie workflow can then easily make use of such property:
> {code:xml}
> <workflow-app xmlns="uri:oozie:workflow:0.4" name="hello-falcon-wf">
>   ...
>     <java>
>       ...
>       <arg>--customValue=${customProperty}</arg>
>       ...
>     </java>
>     ...
> </workflow-app>
> {code}
