Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HDFS-6959:
--------------------------------------------

bq. Actually it can not because the value is reset in initialize() method based on config setting.

Oops, you're right.  I had forgotten about that initialize() paradigm we use here instead of a constructor.

bq. Would you please take a look at the new revision? thanks.

Can we call this "home directory prefix" instead of "home dir base"?  It seems clearer.  Similarly, homeDirBase -> homeDirectoryPrefix, etc.

+1 once that's addressed

> The path is currently hardcoded:
> public Path getHomeDirectory() {
>     return makeQualified(new Path("/user/" + dfs.ugi.getShortUserName()));
>   }
> It would be nice to have that as a customizable value.  
> Thank you
