Description

"ambari-server upgrade" process still puts the new views jar to default location even if views.dir is customized in ambari.properties
Tested with Ambari 2.2.1 to upgrade to Ambari 2.4.0.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Stop Ambari Server.
2. Move /var/lib/ambari-server/resources/views to a new custom directory.
3. Add views.dir property in ambari.properties with above custom directory as value.
4. Restart Ambari server and it view works.
5. Upgrade Ambari server.
6. Views.dir still points to new custom directory but upgrade puts the new jars again back to /var/lib/ambari-server/resources/views (default location).
7. Views fails as jars are older than current Ambari version in the views.dir location.

Every 2.0s: grep views.dir /etc/ambari-server/conf/ambari.properties                         Tue Aug  8 17:22:29 2017

views.dir=/tmp/amogh/views

Every 2.0s: ls -l /tmp/amogh/views                                                                   Tue Aug  8 17:23:21 2017
