Description

HCat commandline (bin/hcat) has the following section:

–
HADOOP_CLASSPATH=${HADOOP_CLASSPATH}:${HCAT_PREFIX}/etc/hcatalog
–

A simple trivial fix for this is by adding in ${HCAT_CONF_DIR} to this.

That's incorrect, and it should be using ${HCAT_CONF_DIR} instead. We really need to sort out our env and configs to make it simpler and clearer across all our packages, but that's outside the scope of a trivial patch - I'll raise another jira for that.

(Not removing existing case, since that'd help tarballs without HCAT_CONF_DIR being set, that have their conf in ${HCAT_PREFIX}/etc/hcatalog.
