Roman Shaposhnik commented on BIGTOP-568:
-----------------------------------------
Owen, the logic behind that extra level of indirection is that we want to
support alternatives for multiple configs. The /etc/hadoop/conf is an
alternative pointing to one of the actual configuration subdirectories.
Now, we have this policy throughout Bigtop and it could be argued that for some
components (like Pig, Sqoop) you don't really need this alternative complexity,
Hadoop however is one of the things that seems to clearly benefit from it in my
experience.
Could you tell us a bit more about your use case?
