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

@Robert, I understand your concerns and that's why:
  # I would like this change to be vetted by as large of a community as possible
  # my current patch leaves an option of sticking with the absolute path for those who really need that

> 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?
