Robert Joseph Evans commented on HADOOP-8332:
---------------------------------------------
I would be a bit nervous about this from a security perspective. It should not
be that big of a deal because the container executor validates that the conf
file is owned by the correct user, but I have not looked at it that
exhaustively.
> make default container-executor.conf.dir be a path relative to the
> container-executor binary

> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: security
> Affects Versions: 0.23.1
> Reporter: Roman Shaposhnik

>
> Currently, container-executor binary has an absolute pathname of its
> configuration file baked in. This prevents an easy relocation of the
> configuration files when dealing with multiple Hadoop installs on the same
> node. It would be nice to at least allow for a relative path resolution
> starting from the location of the container-executor binary itself. Something
> like
> {noformat}
> ../etc/hadoop/
> {noformat}
> Thoughts?
