Description

For functional testing where the cluster configuration is stored in hadoop-site.xml, the test runner needs to get the HADOOP_CONF_DIR for the target cluster onto the classpath of slider.sh/.py

This is not the local hadoop conf dir, except in the special case that the local cluster is the target test cluster.

Instead it needs to be a conf dir specific to the target system, which can be referred to from the test suites slider-client.xml. Relative paths will (somehow) need to be supported, to make SCM hosting of slider & cluster conf dirs side by side easy to share
