Description

There are two issues with tar_archive.py which caused a HDP upgrade to fail at a customer:

1. The verbose flag (-v) is switched on. This could result in long archival time and timeouts
2. The full path of the files is preserverved in the archive without the leading slash. This results in doubled paths when the archive is expanded.

E.g:
The contents of /hadoop/falcon/ directory is archived.
All files are archived with full path but no leading slash: hadoop/falcon/<directories>/<filename>
After unpacking the unpacked file will look like: /hadoop/falcon/hadoop/falcon/<directories>/<filename>.
