[jira] [Commented] (MAPREDUCE-849) Renaming of configuration property names in mapreduce

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-849?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13038793#comment-13038793 ] 

Arun C Murthy commented on MAPREDUCE-849:
-----------------------------------------

Ok, this patch has a big problem.

Well, not the patch.

The crux is that we shouldn't have added the new config knobs to mapred-default.xml. Configuration is setup to look for new config knobs when old ones are used, which is fine. However, the new config knobs take precedence over old ones and by setting new ones in mapred-default.xml the old ones are never found...
