> Current falcon scripts hard code the location of the log and the pid dirs. Instead if we added the ability to source a falcon-env.sh which the user could provide then the user can overwrite these locations to some thing else.
> This would also allow the user a way to set JAVA_HOME and other env vars in a file rather than doing it in a shell. This is something similar to how hadoop works.
> Along with this change i also plan on changing the classpath to list dir/* instead of every jar file. Again this is similar to what hadoop 2 does.
