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

As per Peter's description, the user of 'hbase' gets '/var/run/hbase' as home directory shown in /etc/passwd after  HBase component be installed via bigtop. Now we change the home directory of 'hbase' user to '/var/lib/hbase' via hbase.mk in bigtop packaging.

Please see below details for example in /etc/passwd:
Original:
hbase:x:493:493:HBase:/var/run/hbase:/sbin/nologin
Changed:
hbase:x:493:493:HBase:/var/lib/hbase:/sbin/nologin

> HBase installs its user with a home directory of /var/run/hbase which is inconsistent with other components and should really be /var/lib/hbase
