Summary: Hadoop Jar Error Should Be More Explanatory Key: HADOOP-12271 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12271 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Jesse Anderson Priority: Minor When the "hadoop jar" command is used and the JAR does not exist, the error message says "Not a valid JAR: ...". The message should say that the JAR does not exist. This error makes it sound like the JAR is corrupt or is not a JAR format. https://github.com/apache/hadoop/blob/c1d50a91f7c05e4aaf4655380c8dcd11703ff158/hadoop-common-project/hadoop-common/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/util/RunJar.java#L151 -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
