> When running bin and sbin commands from the tarball if HADOOP_LOG_DIR is not explicitly set in hadoop-env.sh it doesn't use HADOOP_HOME/logs by default like it used to, instead picks a wrong dir:
> {noformat}
> localhost: mkdir: cannot create directory `/eli': Permission denied
> localhost: chown: cannot access `/eli/eli': No such file or directory
> {noformat}
> We should have it default to HADOOP_HOME/logs or at least fail with a message if the dir doesn't exist, the env var isn't set.
