[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-6783) Rename core-* configuration files

---------------------------------------
If we are going to change the conf file name for core, then it will be nice if we rename it to hadoop-common-site.xml rather than common-site.xml. For all the projects using Hadoop, a file name starting with hadoop will make more sense. This is not that much important for mapred and hdfs, but having a file name core-site.xml reveals no clue about belonging to hadoop.

------------------------------------------
While splitting the config may have made things easier for devs (maybe? is there any evidence that having xxx-xxx.xml did?), it would be MUCH easier from an ops and end user perspective if this was one big file again. Pushing around 3 files instead of 1 adds extra coordination and esp confusion for new users. [I've lost track of how many times users tried to connect the hdfs client to the nn web ui port.]
If we want to retain the semi-autonomy, we could make stanzas for each project.
