Agreed. It would still be necessary to support local configuration for single-node clusters and testing though. The configuration should be able to take its values either from a distributed system, or from local values. ZooKeeper would be a reasonable system for retrieving/ setting the key-value pairs of the configuration file.

Rather than distributing the hadoop configuration files to every data node, compute node, etc, Hadoop should be able to read configuration information (dynamically!) from LDAP, ZooKeeper, whatever.
