[jira] [Updated] (HADOOP-13699) Configuration does not substitute multiple references to the same var

["Andrew Wang (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-13699?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Andrew Wang updated HADOOP-13699:
---------------------------------
    Attachment: HADOOP-13699.001.patch

Patch attached. This only attempts to catch the simple case of a variable resolving to itself. Support for detecting multiple variable loops is removed.

Solving this generally is like detecting a loop in a linked list. Since this is performance sensitive code, I think we'd rather not do that.

> Config var loop detection was originally introduced by HADOOP-6871. Due to cycle detection changes in the trunk patch for HADOOP-11506, resolution for multiple references to the same variable no longer resolved, e.g.
> {noformat}
> somekey = "${otherkey} ${otherkey}"
> {noformat}
> This loop detection business is fragile, expensive, and not in branch-2, so let's reduce it.
