Hi Venkata krishnan, My general point was that personally I do not think that the current implementation is wrong or confusing. And the main thing here is that how we define consistent in this case is subjective. >From the proposed point of view, consistent mean we use the same prefix. But we can consistently use the least required prefix groups to identify a subsystem property, which is how it works right now. The prop naming conventions of these dependent systems are different, so do their prefixes in Flink.
It is very possible I am in minority with my view, but I do not think duplicating the `yarn` prefix to make it conform with Hadoop props would be a better UX as it is now, just different. One thing that less opinionated maybe is if the proposed solution simplifies the property load logic. Currently, Hadoop props from the Flink conf are parsed in `HadoopUtils` (flink-hadoop-fs module), while Yarn props in `Utils` (flink-yarn module). Maybe `org.apache.flink.configuration.Configuration` could have a helper to extract all prefixed properties to a `Map`, or another `Configuration` object (the latter could be easily added as a resource to the dependent system config objects). That simplification could make the overall prefixed load logic more clean IMO and that is something that would be useful. WDYT?
