Undocumented configuration parameters

Hi, all  

Just for curiosity, I grep the  source code in core component yesterday, and found that there are about 30 configuration parameters being used but undocumented

I have been reading the source code and writing documents for them, nearly finished…

But I would like to ask before I made the PR, what’s the reason of the missing documentations, the contributor forgot to update the docs, or they are intended to be hidden maybe some parameters are not expected to be changed by the user?

Best,

This would be extremely helpful if we can make this work.  I know there's
also a ticket on Jira for making these options available in a configuration
file (or maybe extending the existing shell script):
https://spark-project.atlassian.net/browse/SPARK-529.

Thanks,
Benny
