[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-7814) Add ability to add the contents of a properties file to Configuration

["Steve Loughran (Commented) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7814?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13211075#comment-13211075 ] 

Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-7814:
----------------------------------------

basic idea looks good, and I can see some uses, 
 # I propose adding put this into the 0.23.x branch/trunk rather than the stable 1.x branch
 # An export to properties could be good too for the full round tripping (and some useful diagnostics on bug reports)

Though there are some coding style and practises to review before a patch could be applied:

{{Configuration}}
* major re-ordering of imports
* spacing doesn't follow style rutes
* exception logging events should always include the exception as the second
  argument so that the stack trace is preserved
* the {{in.close()}} handler in the {{finally}} clause should just log at info and not at fatal


{{TestConfiguration}}

* there's an import * import static org.junit.Assert.*;
* re-ordering of imports
* some gratutious indentation
