Description

Just like the Configuration class carries a main() method in it, that simply loads itself and writes XML out to System.out, HBaseConfiguration can use the same kinda method.

That way we can do "hbase org.apache.hadoop.….HBaseConfiguration" to get an Xml dump of things HBaseConfiguration has properly loaded. Nifty in checking app classpaths sometimes.
