Description

I think we should get rid of the static calls to GlobalConfiguration that load configuration ad hoc. It will not properly work anyways because different setups (standalone / Yarn / Mesos / etc) store and access the configuration at different places.

The only point where the configuration should be loaded is in the entry points of the Processes (TaskManager, JobManager, ApplicationMaster, etc)
