Description

There's a couple HOD limitations that really trip up the unwary.
Two I've encountered are that hod can't take relative paths on the command line, and that if you pass hod a tarball with a modified /conf, then the cluster will fail mysteriously to be initialized.

I don't see any references to either in the documentation, and it'd be great to write this down.
