integrating config parser to read config values from a file


Tested it and it works fine locally. Will try running on the cluster next. Sending it out to get some comments from you.

There is a minor issue that i need to figure out yet on how to set the airflow_home from os.environ in airflow.cfg, except that part, i think this change is good.

I like referencing the shorter config.get or conf.get as opposed to the longer form "configuration.get_config().get"

You could have the reference in the configuration module:
from airflow.configuration import conf
