----------------------------------------

             Summary: make default container-executor.conf.dir be a path relative to the container-executor binary
                 Key: HADOOP-8332
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8332
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: security
    Affects Versions: 0.23.1
            Reporter: Roman Shaposhnik
             Fix For: 2.0.0


Currently, container-executor binary has an absolute pathname of its configuration file baked in. This prevents an easy relocation of the configuration files when dealing with multiple Hadoop installs on the same node. It would be nice to at least allow for a relative path resolution starting from the location of the container-executor binary itself. Something like
{noformat}
../etc/hadoop/
{noformat}

Thoughts?
