Description

The LoadIncrementalHFiles tool has pretty complex config loading structured in it, which seems unnecessary and also causes problem since it is ignoring any settings passed to it via Tool's -Dprop=value parameters.

This makes integration with tools such as Oozie harder, as it doesn't accept different addresses of ZK, etc. unless there's a hbase-site.xml on the classpath to load from (which is painful to achieve on Oozie).
