Configuration class can throw exceptions in quiet mode; quiet mode usage unclear
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-8030
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8030
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: conf
            Reporter: Elias Ross


hadoop-common-project/hadoop-common/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/conf/Configuration.java

      if (doc == null && root == null) {
        if (quiet)
          return;
        throw new RuntimeException(name + " not found");
      }


Unclear why a diagnostic mode would throw an exception, while normally off it would not.

It's also not clear why 'quiet' is being passed around as well. Why not use logging levels and logging configuration and remove 'quiet' mode altogether?
