I'd like to minimize clutter and unneeded values in the core-, hdfs-, and mapred-site.xml files that appear on the master, and that appear on the slaves, only having those that are actually used in the files on the NN/SNN/JT, and in the files on the DNs/TTs. Some values are clearly only needed on the master or only on the slaves, or on both, but for many it's not clear.
Is there a summary containing this information? I know that in the distribution's docs directory the {core|hdfs|mapred}-default.html files list all values, with defaults and descriptions, but not always on what daemon(s) they're needed. Thanks.
