---------------------------------------

             Summary: Configuration might use ApplicationClassLoader to create 
XML parser
                 Key: HADOOP-12126
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12126
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: conf
            Reporter: Laurent Goujon


{{org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration}} creates a new DocumentBuilder to parse 
the XML config files, but it doesn't specify which classloader to use to 
discover and instantiate the XML parser.

Because DocumentBuilderFactory relies on ServiceProvider, whose by default, 
uses the context classloader. If classpath isolation is turned on, one might 
expect that that Configuration will only load classes from the system 
classloader, but it turns out that the context classloader is set to 
ApplicationClassLoader, and that a XML parser might be loaded from the user 
classpath.
