Configuration should trim whitespace around class name values -------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-6578 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6578 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Improvement Components: conf Affects Versions: 0.22.0 Reporter: Todd Lipcon Priority: Minor I've seen multiple users make an error where they've listed some whitespace around a class name (eg for configuring a scheduler). This results in a ClassNotFoundException which is very hard to debug, as you don't notice the whitespace in the exception! We should simply trim the whitespace in Configuration.getClass and Configuration.getClasses to avoid this class of user error. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
