> When we load the various XMLs via the Configuration class, the source of the
> XML file (filename) is usually kept in the Configuration class but not
> exposed programmatically. It is presently exposed as comments such as "Loaded
> from mapred-site.xml" in the XML dump/serialization but can't be accessed
> otherwise (Via the Configuration API).
> For debugging/etc. purposes, it may be useful to expose this safely (such as
> an API for "where did this property come from?" queries for a specific
> property, via an API.
