Description

This is a bug in our code where we run the unless command as root. This does not show up in our test environment because the we allow all users to access hadoop unless there are specific perms in place.
If the hadoop-policy file prevents root to access hadoop at all - which is a good thing; we we fail on CopyFromLocal and WebHCat will not restart.
