[jira] [Created] (HADOOP-8967) Reported source for config property can be misleading

Jason Lowe created HADOOP-8967:
----------------------------------

             Summary: Reported source for config property can be misleading
                 Key: HADOOP-8967
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8967
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: conf
    Affects Versions: 0.23.3
            Reporter: Jason Lowe
            Priority: Minor


Configuration.set tries to track the source of a property being set, but it mistakenly reports properties as being deprecated when they are not.  This is misleading and confusing for users examining a job's configuration.

For example, run a sleep job and check the job configuration on the job UI.  The source for the "mapreduce.job.maps" property will be reported as "job.xml ⬅ because mapreduce.job.maps is deprecated".  This leads users to think mapreduce.job.maps is now a deprecated property and wonder what other property they should use instead.
