GH-26: add support for multiple workflow XMLs in a single HDFS directory
------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: OOZIE-72
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OOZIE-72
             Project: Oozie
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Hadoop QA


Currently a workflow XML is the 'workflow.xml' file under the HDFS directory 
specified in the job property 'oozie.wf.application.path'.

This means that a given HDFS directory can have only one workflow app (the 
workflow.xml file).

In many cases is desirable to share configurations and binaries among multiple 
workflow apps. 

Today this is not possible.

Proposal:

1* If 'oozie.wf.application.path' points to a HDFS directory, the workflow app 
is 'workflow.xml'  (today's behavior)
2* If 'oozie.wf.application.path' points to an XML file in HDFS, the workflow 
app is the specified file path and the workflow app directory (for all 
resources and and binaries) is the parent directory.

This proposal preserves backwards compatibility.
