Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-4617:
--------------------------------------
> Do I understand correctly that hadoop-default will be in
> HADOOP_HOME/build/classes and hadoop-site will be still in HADOOP_HOME/conf?
Yes, that is the proposal. Defaults are for documentation only. Putting them
in the user's conf directory causes folks to use the wrong version of the
defaults, since conf directories are copied between releases. The defaults
should be more strongly tied to each release.
> hadoop-default.xml should not be in conf/ directory

> It is error prone to keep hadoop-default.xml in the conf/ directory. Folks
> copy configuration directories between releases, but this file is strongly
> tied to a particualr release and should not be either editted or used with
> other than the release it comes with.
