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

To provide the recipe properties file on command line and invoking the 
respective recipe for execution, it is also required to have workflow.xml and 
recipe template in path. To perform this, I have thought of passing the recipe 
property file as follows:
{code:java}
$ ./bin/falcon recipe -name hdfs-replication -operation HDFS_REPLICATION 
-properties <recipe properties file path>
{code}

For execution of recipe, if recipe properties file is provided on command line, 
look for the respective recipe workflow.xml and template file in the directory 
path where recipe properties file is located. Also users can still execute the 
recipe by specifying the directory path through falcon.recipe.path=<recipe 
directory path> in conf/client.properties. To perform this users can copy the 
recipe's related files from $FALCON_HOME/data-mirroring/hdfs-replication to 
accessible directory. 

Similar steps can be performed for Hive replication recipe as well.

Please provide thoughts on the above approach.

For execution of recipe, if recipe.properties file is provided on command line, 
look for the respective recipe workflow.xml and template file in one of the 
location on the basis of recipe name:
   a. In the directory path where recipe.properties file is located.
   a. In the $FALCON_HOME/data-mirroring directory.
   b. In the directory path specified through falcon.recipe.path=<recipe 
directory path>, if specified in conf/client.properties.

Please provide thoughts on the above approach.

> Currently recipe path option can only be specified through client.properties 
> file. We should add an option to provide path for recipes through command 
> line as well.
