Configuration class can throw exceptions in quiet mode; quiet mode usage unclear --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-8030 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8030 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Bug Components: conf Reporter: Elias Ross hadoop-common-project/hadoop-common/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/conf/Configuration.java if (doc == null && root == null) { if (quiet) return; throw new RuntimeException(name + " not found"); } Unclear why a diagnostic mode would throw an exception, while normally off it would not. It's also not clear why 'quiet' is being passed around as well. Why not use logging levels and logging configuration and remove 'quiet' mode altogether? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
