Mike Baranczak commented on HADOOP-6948:
----------------------------------------

Just to clarify my comment: I don't really care if setting a property to null 
is allowed or not. I just initially assumed that this was how you'd un-set a 
property. 

> There's no way to remove a property from a Configuration

>             Project: Hadoop Common
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: conf
>    Affects Versions: 0.20.2, 0.21.0
>         Environment: all
>            Reporter: Mike Baranczak
>            Priority: Minor

> The Configuration class has a lot of methods for setting properties, but it's 
> impossible to remove a property once it's set. Trying to set it to null 
> results in a NullPointerException, since java.util.Properties doesn't allow 
> null values. When building a Configuration programmatically, this can be a 
> problem.
