Harsh J commented on HADOOP-8525:
---------------------------------
Overall this looks pretty good!
One comment regarding completeness: I noticed Configuration being a Writable.
I've not really seen a use of Configuration being used as Writable, but perhaps
the readFields and write methods need to be updated too, without breaking
compatibility? Or we may document that serialization via Writable will not
include sources of configs.
Other than this, +1.

> Configuration provides basic traceability to see where a config setting came
> from, but once the configuration is written out that information is written
> to a comment in the XML and then lost the next time the configuration is read
> back in. It would really be great to be able to store a complete history of
> where the config came from in the XML, so that it can then be retrieved later
> for debugging.
