----------------------------

Hi larry

I also came across this point. In  our OM system configurations are kept away from installation directory to ease the upgrade process.
I think it is better to make use of this configuration to overwrite the default value. Can keep it compatible as if this is not configured use the current location.

> Configuration Name in gateway-default.xml is not same as the name used in "org.apache.hadoop.gateway.config.impl.GatewayConfigImpl"
> * The deployments directory is no longer found in the conf directory.
> * This config item is not actually referenced anywhere in the server that I see with a quick grep
> * Perhaps we can use this to override the default conf dir location itself?
> * or perhaps it should just be removed
> * GatewayConfigImpl class level javadocs are also obsolete and should be addressed by this effort as well.
> Incorrect Configuration name in gateway-default.xml
