             Summary: Add ability to specify alternate HDFS configuration file
                 Key: VFS-555
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-555
             Project: Commons VFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 2.1
         Environment: All
            Reporter: Roger Whitcomb
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 2.1


We need to access HDFS on an AWS installation from outside the AWS firewall.  
The technique is described here:  
http://rainerpeter.wordpress.com/2014/02/12/connect-to-hdfs-running-in-ec2-using-public-ip-addresses/
In order to do this we need to set the "dfs.client.use.datanode.hostname=true" 
in an alternate configuration file set after the default configuration is 
loaded.
I propose to add a property "configName" to HdfsFileSystemConfigBuilder, and 
then code in HdfsFileSystem to get the value of the property and set it in the 
Configuration.
