Sean Mackrory commented on BIGTOP-988:
--------------------------------------
I just haven't gotten around to testing my fix yet, but that is essentially the
approach I would take. init.d.tmpl would change to $WORKING_DIR after switching
su'ing to $SVC_USER. By default, it is the string "~/", but services can change
it (as, IMO, hcatalog should be switching to /var/run/hcatalog or something
instead of hive's ~).
> HCatalog does not launch daemon process in a known directory

> HCatalog launches the process in the current working directory, after which

> not even have permissions there!
