Robert Joseph Evans commented on HADOOP-8332:
---------------------------------------------

I would be a bit nervous about this from a security perspective.  It should not be that big of a deal because the container executor validates that the conf file is owned by the correct user, but I have not looked at it that exhaustively.

> Currently, container-executor binary has an absolute pathname of its configuration file baked in. This prevents an easy relocation of the configuration files when dealing with multiple Hadoop installs on the same node. It would be nice to at least allow for a relative path resolution starting from the location of the container-executor binary itself. Something like
> {noformat}
> ../etc/hadoop/
> {noformat}
> Thoughts?
