unable to read file present in hbase classpath

[#1]

I'm using cdp-pvc base cluster on aws. I have distributed a properties file(abc.properties) in /opt/ on all the nodes of the cluster. I've added the HBASE_CLASSPATH in safety valve, where I provided the path for properties file.

I've created a jar for hbase operations. When I try to read the properties file with the following code.

inputStream = CLASS.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("abc.properties");

 The Hmaster is not getting healthy and I get inputstream as null in the strerr file.

Please let me know, if anything else is required to make it available in classpath.
