Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-7077:
--------------------------------------

Generally the first time someone attaches a patch to an issue in the project, a 
committer will then give them permission to be assigned issues (the 
"contributor" role in jira) and assign them the issue.  After that they can 
assign themselves.

Just go ahead and start working on a patch.  Because of your comment above, 
anyone else interested in working on this will know that you already intend to.

> Currently each class with a main() method (in HDFS and MapReduce) calls 
> Configuration.addDefaultResource() to add the names of resource files to load 
> (e.g. see DataNode and NameNode which both add hdfs-default.xml and 
> hdfs-site.xml). We could reduce the code duplication by allowing the use of 
> [java.util.ServiceLoader|http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/ServiceLoader.html]
>  to do the initialization.
