Configuration.getProps() should be made protected for ease of overriding
------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-4365
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4365
             Project: Hadoop Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: conf
    Affects Versions: 0.20.0
            Reporter: Steve Loughran


HADOOP-4293 does make Configuration cleaner and easier to work with, but it 
does contain assumptions about how configurations are represented (in a private 
Properties instance) that subclasses may wish to diverge from.

By making getProps() protected, people who subclass JobConf or Configuration 
can do their own binding from configuration data to Properties.
