Konstantin Shvachko commented on HADOOP-4617:
---------------------------------------------
I also had to deal with a lot of cases when people just forgot to upgrade their
default configuration. So it would be good to have some automation for that,
but there is challenge here imo. It will be even harder to understand the
dependencies between different configuration files if people don't see
hadoop-default.xml and hadoop-site.xml together in the same directory.
> hadoop-default.xml should not be in conf/ directory

> It is error prone to keep hadoop-default.xml in the conf/ directory. Folks
> copy configuration directories between releases, but this file is strongly
> tied to a particualr release and should not be either editted or used with
> other than the release it comes with.
