Edward J. Yoon commented on HADOOP-3281:
----------------------------------------
Hmm, Should vmArgs moved to java code, too?
> bin/hadoop script should check class name before running java

> When the first parameter ($1) cannot be matched with one of existing hadoop
> commnads, the parameter will be considered as a class name and the script
> will pass it to java. For examples,
> {noformat}
> bash-3.2$ ./bin/hadoop -version
> java version "1.5.0_14"
> Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_14-b03)
> Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_14-b03, mixed mode)
> bash-3.2$ ./bin/hadoop -help
> Usage: java [-options] class [args...]
> (to execute a class)
> or java [-options] -jar jarfile [args...]
> (to execute a jar file)
> ...
> {noformat}
> The behavior above is confusing. We should check whether the parameter is a
> valid class name before passing it to java.
