Hello, I'm having a bit of trouble getting the Kafka Ranger 0.5 pluigin to load the configuration files. My guess is that I have the config files in the wrong place.
I know normally, Ranger and Kafka are supposed to be installed natively on the machine, but we have a use case where they must be used with relative paths. Currently, the jars are linked correctly and I can see in the logs that the plugin is starting. I have the xml config files in Kafka's config directory. With Log4J, I see: [2016-05-06 13:03:01,737] ERROR PolicyRefresher(serviceName=null): failed to refresh policies.
