Description

Currently app.config for Evaluator is hard coded. We use the one defined as default. Sometimes, applicaiton would like to bring their own app.config for Evaluator, especially for some .Net configuration that can only be defined in app.config.

We would like to allow the user to define their own config file,
Org.Apache.REEF.Evaluator.exe.config
The file must be put together with other binaries.

The .Net REEF client will check if the file exists, if not still use the default for backward compatible.
