HADOOP_LOG_DIR has to be set explicitly when running from the tarball
---------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-7895
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7895
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: build
    Affects Versions: 0.23.0
            Reporter: Eli Collins


When running bin and sbin commands from the tarball if HADOOP_LOG_DIR is not explicitly set in hadoop-env.sh it doesn't use HADOOP_HOME/logs by default like it used to, instead picks a wrong dir:

{noformat}
localhost: mkdir: cannot create directory `/eli': Permission denied
localhost: chown: cannot access `/eli/eli': No such file or directory
{noformat}

We should have it default to HADOOP_HOME/logs or at least fail with a message if the dir doesn't exist, the env var isn't set.
