Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-3407:
--------------------------------------

This would be expensive as long as configurations are implemented with a hash table.

Also, what are some use cases?

> It would be really nice to have a way to query all of the attributes under a given root:
> {code}
> String[] attrs = conf.getChildAttributes("mapred.task");
> {code}
> which would return all of the attributes in the configurat that start with "mapred.task...."
