Hi,
If am not sure, if I understood your issue correctly. Would you like to
specify somehow where the configuration directory for your Hadoop cluster
is located (e.g. /etc/hadoop/conf)?
If you use init scripts from CDH, they assume that config directory is
CONF_DIR="/etc/hadoop/conf".
Afaik, when you use HDP or Apache distribution, then you can specify where
your configuration directory is when you start a script e.g. "sudo -u hdfs
/usr/lib/hadoop/sbin/hadoop-daemon.sh --config <config_directory> start
datanode"
PS.
I grepped my configuration directory, and installation directory
(/usr/lib/hadoop), but I can not see variable called: HADOOP_HOME_DIR
anywhere.
I see that /usr/lib/hadoop/libexec/hadoop-layout.sh contains variable
HADOOP_CONF_DIR=${HADOOP_CONF_DIR:-"/etc/hadoop/conf"}.
