/**
 * Provides access to configuration parameters.
 *
 * <h4 id="Resources">Resources</h4>
 *
 * <p>
 * Configurations are specified by resources. A resource contains a set of
 * name/value pairs as XML data. Each resource is named by either a
 * <code>String</code> or by a {@link Path}. If named by a <code>String</code>,
 * then the classpath is examined for a file with that name. If named by a
 * <code>Path</code>, then the local filesystem is examined directly, without
 * referring to the classpath.
 *
 * <p>
 * Unless explicitly turned off, Hadoop by default specifies two resources,
 * loaded in-order from the classpath:
 * <ol>
 * <li><tt><a href="{@docRoot}/../core-default.html">core-default.xml</a>
 * </tt>: Read-only defaults for hadoop.</li>
 * <li><tt>core-site.xml</tt>: Site-specific configuration for a given hadoop
 * installation.</li>
 * </ol>
 * Applications may add additional resources, which are loaded subsequent to
 * these resources in the order they are added.
 * 
 * <h4 id="FinalParams">Final Parameters</h4>
 *
 * <p>
 * Configuration parameters may be declared <i>final</i>. Once a resource
 * declares a value final, no subsequently-loaded resource can alter that value.
 * For example, one might define a final parameter with: <tt><pre>
 *  &lt;property&gt;
 *    &lt;name&gt;dfs.hosts.include&lt;/name&gt;
 *    &lt;value&gt;/etc/hadoop/conf/hosts.include&lt;/value&gt;
 *    <b>&lt;final&gt;true&lt;/final&gt;</b>
 *  &lt;/property&gt;</pre></tt>
 *
 * Administrators typically define parameters as final in <tt>core-site.xml</tt>
 * for values that user applications may not alter.
 *
 * <h4 id="VariableExpansion">Variable Expansion</h4>
 *
 * <p>
 * Value strings are first processed for <i>variable expansion</i>. The
 * available properties are:
 * <ol>
 * <li>Other properties defined in this Configuration; and, if a name is
 * undefined here,</li>
 * <li>Properties in {@link System#getProperties()}.</li>
 * </ol>
 *
 * <p>
 * For example, if a configuration resource contains the following property
 * definitions: <tt><pre>
 *  &lt;property&gt;
 *    &lt;name&gt;basedir&lt;/name&gt;
 *    &lt;value&gt;/user/${<i>user.name</i>}&lt;/value&gt;
 *  &lt;/property&gt;
 *  
 *  &lt;property&gt;
 *    &lt;name&gt;tempdir&lt;/name&gt;
 *    &lt;value&gt;${<i>basedir</i>}/tmp&lt;/value&gt;
 *  &lt;/property&gt;</pre></tt>
 *
 * When <tt>conf.get("tempdir")</tt> is called, then <tt>${<i>basedir</i>}</tt>
 * will be resolved to another property in this Configuration, while
 * <tt>${<i>user.name</i>}</tt> would then ordinarily be resolved to the value
 * of the System property with that name.
