Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-4617:
--------------------------------------
> 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.
The defaults are documented in html that's included with each release:
http://hadoop.apache.org/core/docs/current/hadoop-default.html
Folks can refer to this to find what the default values are, no?
> 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.
