-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fixed this. Now users can set HADOOP_OPTS by specifying it in configuration 
parameters gridservice-mapred.envs or gridservice-hdfs.envs depending on where 
it need to be specified. Any special characters present have to escaped.

                  e.g: ./bin/hod -c ~/hodrc.old -o "allocate ~/hod/clusterpath 
4" -t ~/hadoop-0.17.0-dev.tar.gz 
--gridservice-hdfs.envs="HADOOP_OPTS=-XX:+MaxFDLimit\ -XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio\=70" 
--gridservice-mapred.envs="HADOOP_OPTS=-XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio\=70"

Also forcing validation of both envs variables, absence of which was throwing 
uncaught exceptions when invalid list of keyval pairs is specified by user.

> For purposes of performance tuning it should be possible to set some 
> environment variables that Hadoop honors before launching the Hadoop daemons. 
> For e.g. to set the heap size of the JVM, we should set the HADOOP_HEAPSIZE 
> variable. These can be configured through hodrc using the 
> gridservice-mapred.envs environment variable. This works for everything 
> *except* HADOOP_OPTS, which is also useful, for e.g. to pass in Garbage 
> collection parameters to the JVM, like -XX:+UseParallelGC. This is because 
> HOD tries to set HADOOP_OPTS from the gridservice-mapred.java-opts variable, 
> but it does not read the java-opts variable anywhere properly.
