Description

We'd like a conf_dir parameter on the startup scripts (ie. "-c <confdif>"). In particular, it would be nice if it propagated down from hadoop-daemons.sh to slaves.sh to hadoop-daemon.sh using the command line rather than using the ssh -o SendEnv=HADOOP_CONF_DIR, which is not supported in many environments.

• is duplicated by: HADOOP-260 the start up scripts should take a command line parameter --config making it easy to run multiple hadoop installation on same machines
