> A use-case: Recently, we stumbled on a bug that wanted us to disable the
> feature to run a debug script in map/reduce on tasks that fail, specified by
> mapred.{map|reduce}.task.debug.script. The best way of disabling it seemed to
> be to set it with no value in the cluster configuration and mark it final.
> This did not work, however, because the code in configuration explicitly
> checks if the value is not null before adding it to the list of final
> parameters.
> Without an ability to do this, there might be a need to explicitly have a
> special way of disabling optional features.
