Masatake Iwasaki commented on HADOOP-11058:
-------------------------------------------
We do not need to change the code for finding conf dir by hadoop-env.sh in
order to move HADOOP-10879 forward. It is only for backward compatibility.
> Missing HADOOP_CONF_DIR generates strange results

> If HADOOP_CONF_DIR is defined but points to a directory that either doesn't
> exist or isn't actually a viable configuration directory, all sorts of weird
> things happen, especially for logging. The shell code should do a better job
> of verifying the directory is valid and exit if it detects if it is broken in
> some way.
