I wouldn't say "multiple" conf directories, but alternate ones from the
default. In Hadoop I can stick all my config files in a /tmp/foo directory,
set HADOOP_CONF_DIR, and hadoop will read all of its configuration files out of
there instead of its default location.
spark-env.sh is already searched for in SPARK_CONF_DIR via
load-spark-env.sh, so that isn't a problem. However, spark-defaults.conf is
not searched for in SPARK_CONF_DIR. So I can't put all the config files in one
directory.
I hope that clarifies things?
