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

             Summary: Usability : Require user to provide only the staging location. 
                 Key: FALCON-1648
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FALCON-1648
             Project: Falcon
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.8
            Reporter: Balu Vellanki
            Assignee: Balu Vellanki
             Fix For: 0.9


Today, when specifying a cluster entity, user should create three dirs in HDFS with proper permissions.
1. staging
2. tmp
3. working

We can simplify this by letting user specify a single location, i.e. staging. The working dir will be created by falcon under <staging_dir>/working. The tmp dir will be <staging_dir>/tmp. User can still overwrite these values in the cluster.xml, this way the cluster definition is backwards compatible.
