Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-2385:
---------------------------------------

I can see the motivation/frustration for this, but it doesn't work very well 
with the Hadoop configuration model, which is very open. In particular, it 
would have to be a very inclusive and configurable list, since the same 
configuration file is used for map/reduce and hdfs. 

I would think that the best tradeoff would be to have a configuration file that 
the namenode and datanodes use to say that all attributes under dfs.* can only 
be on this list.

> Configuration parameters should be fully validated before name nodes or data 
> nodes begin service.
> Required parameters must be present.
> Required and optional parameters must have values of proper type and range.
> Undefined parameters must not be present.

> parameter.)
