> I've seen this in several places now - commands returning -1 on failure to
> the shell. It's a bug. Someone confused their posix style returns (0 on
> success, < 0 on failure) with program returns, which are an unsigned
> character. Thus, a return of -1 actually becomes 255 to the shell.
> {noformat}
> $ hadoop key create happykey2 --provider kms://http@localhost:16000/kms
> --attr "a=a" --attr "a=b"
> Each attribute must correspond to only one value:
> atttribute "a" was repeated
> ...
> $ echo $?
> 255
> {noformat}
> A return value of 1 instead of -1 does the right thing.
