Konstantin Shvachko commented on HADOOP-4617:
---------------------------------------------

Sure the fields are documented. I am talking only about the location of the 
configs.
Now it is rather simple go to HADOOP_HOME/conf and you see all config files 
there. If you separate them the users will be confused.
Do I understand correctly that hadoop-default will be in 
HADOOP_HOME/build/classes and hadoop-site will be still in HADOOP_HOME/conf?

> 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.
