Enis Soztutar created HADOOP-9660:
-------------------------------------
Summary: [WINDOWS] Powershell / cmd parses -Dkey=value from
command line as [-Dkey, value] which breaks GenericsOptionParser
Key: HADOOP-9660
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9660
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Bug
Components: scripts, util
Reporter: Enis Soztutar
Assignee: Enis Soztutar
Fix For: 3.0.0, 2.1.0-beta
When parsing parameters to a class implementing Tool, and using ToolRunner, we
can pass
{code}
bin/hadoop <tool_class> -Dkey=value
{code}
However, powershell parses the '=' sign itself, and sends it to java as
["-Dkey", "value"] which breaks GenericOptionsParser.
Using "-Dkey=value" or '-Dkey=value' does not fix the problem. The only
workaround seems to trick PS by using:
'"-Dkey=value"' (single + double quote)
In cmd, "-Dkey=value" works, but not '"-Dkey=value"'.
