Provide a way to load deprecated keys from other sub-projects into configuration
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-6245
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6245
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: conf
            Reporter: Hemanth Yamijala


In HADOOP-6105, we provided a method of adding deprecated keys from other 
sub-projects like HDFS and Map/Reduce using a key called 
hadoop.conf.extra.classes. The expectation was that this key had class names 
that will be statically loaded by the Configuration class and the classes could 
add deprecated keys in static blocks of their classes. We discovered as in 
HADOOP-6243, that the classes added could have side-effects if they, for e.g. 
load resources in configuration. To unblock builds, we are disabling this 
feature in fixing HADOOP-6243. However, I am opening this JIRA to follow-up on 
a fix for the original intention.
