Andrew Wang commented on HADOOP-12021:
--------------------------------------
Lewis, could you give a little more detail of your Nutch usecase?
It's also worth noting that while we provide the description in
core-default.xml / hdfs-default.xml / etc for documentation, but probably not
in user-provided config files. The -default.xml files are already included in
our JARs, so it shouldn't increase dependency size. Loading them in will,
however, increase in-memory size, which is probably a concern for some user app.
