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

             Summary: Pass arguments like sourceDir, targetDir and kerberosPrincipal through " ${wf:conf("  in Falcon extensions
                 Key: FALCON-1912
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FALCON-1912
             Project: Falcon
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: trunk
            Reporter: Balu Vellanki
            Assignee: Balu Vellanki
             Fix For: 0.10


HDFS mirroring, HDFS snapshot mirrorin and HiveDR extensions in Falcon have to provide source and target dirs as arguments to the extension workflow.  [~sandeep.samudrala] reported that  if these dirs have special chars like ".,-", it may cause issues.

The solution is to pass these args through "${wf:conf(". The same should be done for security credentials. This would eliminate need for two different workflow templates in extensions.
