Alejandro Abdelnur commented on YARN-673:
-----------------------------------------

Currently the default.xml files are XSDed and avail in the docs 
http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r2.0.4-alpha/index.html , see the last section 
'Configuration' in the side menu
                
> Remove yarn-default.xml

> The default configuration files serve 2 purposes
> 1. Documenting available config parameters, and their default values.
> 2. Specifying default values for these parameters.
> An xml file hidden inside a jar is not necessarily the best way to document 
> parameters. This could be moved into the documentation itself.
> Default values already exist in code for most parameters. There's no need to 
> specify them in two places. We need to make sure defaults exist for all 
> parameters before attempting this.
> Having default configuration files just bloats job conf files; over 450 
> parameters, out of which <20 are likely job specific params. JobConf files 
> end up being rather big, and the memory footprint of the conf object is large 
> (>300KB last I checked).
