What's wrong with shipping CATALINA_BASE==/usr/share/hadoop/httpfs/tomcat where actual directories are symlinks to the right locations in %{_localstatedir} etc.? I guess what you wanted to point out is that he shouldn't directly install there, but use symlinks instead? Since I've come along systemd's tomcat@foo service file[1] recently while packaging thermostat in rawhide, what is preventing you from using this for hadoop httpfs? It worked quite nicely for us, since we didn't have to ship our own systemd service file. We now simply use $ systemctl start tomcat@thermostat for firing up tomcat with a CATALINA_BASE in /var/lib/tomcats/thermostat. Please forgive me if I've missed an important point.
