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


In 1.4.4rc4, test/system/continuous/start-stats.sh, there's a reference to ACCUMULO_CONF_DIR, and it is not defined anywhere.

> Hadoop (and many of the other projects in the hadoop stack) have a HADOOP_CONF_DIR (<project>_CONF_DIR) environment variable that is used to start daemons using the configuration specified.  
> This is convenient because it decouples the configuration from the distributions -- daemons can be run with different configs without having to perform stateful file operations.  
> For example one could run accumulo like this:
> {code}
> ACCUMULO_CONF_DIR=/etc/accumulo/conf accumulo ....
> {code}
> or set env variables in .bashrc/jenkins scripts for different configurations
> {code}
> export ACCUMULO_CONF_DIR=$ACCUMULO_HOME/conf/examples/1GB/standalone
> .. run test
> export ACCUMULO_CONF_DIR=$ACCUMULO_HOME/conf/examples/1GB/native-standalone
> .. run test
> {code}
