                 Key: HADOOP-6456
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6456
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: V.V.Chaitanya Krishna


While loading resources and programatically setting configuration properties, if a key has a non-null default value and is then set  to null (either in *-site.xml or through conf.set() ), its default value is not being overridden to null. Also, if it is set to null and final in any of the resources (the default value being non-null and not final), the value is not changed to null but is marked as final. This would mean setting part of a property's content (i.e., value) from one resource and some other part of it (i.e., marking  as final) from another resource which is inconsistent.
