Ingo Bürk commented on FLINK-23620: ----------------------------------- The second point essentially means that the previous parser wasn't actually a subset of YAML, right? > Introduce proper YAML parsing to Flink's configuration > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: FLINK-23620 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-23620 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Runtime / Configuration > Reporter: Mika Naylor > Assignee: Mika Naylor > Priority: Minor > Labels: pull-request-available > > At the moment, the YAML parsing for Flink's configuration file > ({{conf/flink-conf.yaml)}} is pretty basic. It only supports basic key value > pairs, such as: > {code:java} > a.b.c: a value > a.b.d: another value{code} > As well as supporting some invalid YAML syntax, such as: > {code:java} > a: b: value{code} > > Introducing proper YAML parsing to the configuration component would let > Flink users use features such as nested keys, such as: > {code:java} > a: > b: > c: a value > d: another value{code} > as well as make it easier to integrate configuration tools/languages that > compile to YAML, such as Dhall. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.1#820001)
