> The current property file specification follows the hadoop configuration file format and this has led to some drawbacks. 
>     a. The names for the properties and attributes are verbose in the configuration file. 
>     b. When there are nested properties in operators the syntax deviates from the bean specification because it introduces some specific keywords in the specification like .prop and ,attr.
> There will already be some changes afoot based on the following
>    a. When adding ability to specify single instance attributes (https://malhar.atlassian.net/browse/APEXCORE-233) implementing it in the current syntax may not be possible or lead to very unwieldy syntax.
>    b. There are also other ideas such as one from David to have the ability to specify global application level attributes which possible require rethinking the current syntax.
> Users have also asked for an easier and more consistent way to specify these properties.  This issue is to track the ideas and progress of these changes.
