Steve Loughran commented on MAPREDUCE-768:
------------------------------------------

in Configuration Management, getting a dump of resolved values is part of the 
"preflight" process; checking all is well. The more validation you can get off 
before you go, the better.

# Because Config can pull in JVM properties, you do need to do the expansion on 
the host that is using the configuration.
# It seems sensible to make this a general purpose Tools option,, print my 
config to stdout, so that anyone using any tool can see the values
# It's also handy to be able to ask a remote service endpoint for their config 
-any node, master or slave, should be able to serve up the config to someone it 
trusts. Which introduces one small problem -only users with admin rights should 
be allowed to see the configurations, in case they contain passwords or other 
sensitive topics.

> Configuration information should generate dump in a standard format.
