Description

As of 6.1.1 MCS has a number of hardcoded paths used:

/etc/columnstore/
/var/lib/columnstore
/var/log/columnstore
Some of these paths are set in the configuration file but they can't be really changed.
These hardcoded paths prevents us from installing/running MCS from a certain location that differs from the abovementioned paths.
This also disallows to run multiple MCS instances in a single OS instance that complicates multi-node testing.
Doing the change hardcoded CMAPI configuration file path must be taken into account also.
