Github user sanjaydasgupta commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/zeppelin/pull/2521 This implementation has a harmful side effect that can break existing notebooks. The problem with this fix is that it changes the meaning of all relative path-names used in any shell commands. For example, after this fix, the command `ls -l data` would operate on the _data_ subdirectory of the user's home directory, whereas before the fix it would operate on the _data_ subdirectory of zeppelin's working directory. One immediate change that is suggested is to change the fix to make it apply only to the narrow situation it is needed in (a Docker environment).
