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

John, can you alter the scripts to check for a failure to create ACCUMULO_LOG_DIR?

> While evaluating the 1.4.2 tarball, I noticed the empty logs dir was missing.  With default config, this needs to be create before accumulo will start.  It would be nice if this were there for new users.  
> Seems like we have the following options : 
>  * create in svn (does not work well w/ git)
>  * create at build time (i.e. maven puts empty dir in tarball)
>  * create at run time (scripts that start services create dir if needed)
> I kinda like the run time option.  This way the dir will be created even when the user changes the config.
> I think we used to have an empty dir in the tar ball.  Can not remember if this was in svn or created by maven, but it seems that was lost somehow.  
> Not sure if we should do something for 1.4.  It seems like we should since this an unnecessary speed bump for new users.
