Description

Currently HttpFS reads HDFS client configuration from the httfs-site.xml from any property of the form 'httpfs.hadoop.conf:HADOOP_PROPERTY'

This is a bit inconvenient.

Instead we should support a single property 'httpfs.hadoop.configuration.dir' that can be pointed to HADOOP conf/ dir and the core-site.xml and hdfs-site.xml files would be read from there.
