Daryn Sharp commented on HADOOP-7966:
-------------------------------------
My thoughts are the redesign of {{FsShell}} introduced some incompatibilities,
and the getmerge change is a rather small change that further improves the
inconsistency of the shell commands. That said, I won't block making it
backwards compat, but I think a deprecated warning should be emitted. Although
a warning may introduce incompatibility if the calling script is checking
stderr...
> Add back in the older -getmerge addnl param and add a test case for the new
> -nl param.

> This is to fix Eli's comments on the parent task:
> bq. This breaks a public API, why not preserve it but add in the improved one
> and update the docs to refer to it? Also, the test for this (HDFS-2070)
> should be done before the change.
