Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-14094:
-----------------------------------------
convention in hadoop is a space {{-D key=value}} I have a big improvement on
CLI/service entry points in general, YARN-679, which has lingered unloved. I
can bring it up to date, address the patches and pull it in this way,. Also,
there's the option of playing with jcommander as a way of processing arguments.
It's way way better
> Rethink S3GuardTool options
> ---------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-14094
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-14094
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: fs/s3
> Reporter: Sean Mackrory
>
> I think we need to rework the S3GuardTool options. A couple of problems I've
> observed in the patches I've done on top of that and seeing other developers
> trying it out:
> * We should probably wrap the current commands in an S3Guard-specific
> command, since 'init', 'destroy', etc. don't touch the buckets at all.
> * Convert to whole-word options, as the single-letter options are already
> getting overloaded. Some patches I've submitted have added functionality
> where the obvious flag is already in use (e.g. -r for region, and read
> throughput, -m for minutes, and metadatastore uri). I may do this early as
> part of HADOOP-14090.
> * We have some options that must be in the config in some cases, and can be
> in the command in other cases. But I've seen someone try to specify the table
> name in the config and leave out the -m option, with no luck. Also, since
> commands hard-code table auto-creation, you might have configured table
> auto-creation, try to import to a non-existent table, and it tells you table
> auto-creation is off.
> We need a more consistent policy for how things should get configured that
> addresses these problems and future-proofs the command a bit more.
