Arun C Murthy commented on HADOOP-6317: --------------------------------------- Aaron - Thinking a bit more about this... one important feature is the ability for the TaskTracker to 'mark' configs as final programmatically. For e.g. the localized configs should be marked final. Does that make sense?
