Arun C Murthy commented on HADOOP-6317:
---------------------------------------

I was thinking along the lines of the tasktracker doing something like:

conf.setFinalInt("mapred.task.id", taskAttemptId);
or
conf.setInt("mapred.task.id", taskAttemptId, true);

where we have the necessary apis like so:

Configuration.setFinalInt(String key, int value);
or
Configuration.setInt(String key, int value, boolean finalParam);

Does that make sense?

> Currently Configuration.writeXml doesn't serialize the 'final' attribute. 
> There are some scenarios where it is useful:
> # TaskTracker should mark the tasks' 'localized' parameters as 'final' 
> # GUI tools
