Ravi Phulari reopened HADOOP-6143:
----------------------------------
As I wrote in the above description HDFS shell guide misleads to user that
exit code -1 is returned on error.
( http://hadoop.apache.org/core/docs/current/hdfs_shell.html#du )
Either we should return exact exit value equal to -1 on error or we should
correct documentation as "exit code returns non zero value on error"
OS X manual for CP command explicitly mentions that "cp utility exits >0 if an
error occurs"
{code}
statepick-lm:hadoop-hdfs rphulari$ man cp | grep exit
is displayed and the exit value is not altered.
The cp utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
{code}
> FS shell commands returns incorrect exit code when error occurs
