Validate XMLs as part of the base script, if a relevant tool is available -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-7947 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7947 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Wish Components: scripts Affects Versions: 0.24.0 Reporter: Harsh J Given that we are locked down to using only XML for configuration and most of the administrators need to manage it by themselves (unless a tool that manages for you is used), it would be good to also validate the provided config XML (*-site.xml) files with a tool like {{xmllint}} or maybe Xerces somehow, when running a command or (at least) when starting up daemons. We should use this only if a relevant tool is available, and optionally be silent if the env. requests. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
