Description

For development/testing it would be helpful to have a way to define HADOOP_OPTS that apply only to a specific launcher and don't affect everything else launched through bin/hadoop. In this specific case I'm looking for a way to set metastore JVM debug options w/o modifying the HADOOP_OPTS environment setting or the hive scripts (which are replaced on every build).
