Karam Singh commented on HADOOP-3151:
-------------------------------------

Check and found that now hod throws mesages similar as mention by vinod, but 
its better if avoid using word invalied e.g -
error message for script file which not executable can be modifed 
  Invalid script file (--hod.script or -s) : <path to a non-executable file> : 
Not an executable. - for script file which not executable
to 
 Script <path to  non executabe file> is not an executable.
Similarly we can change Invalid script file (--hod.script or -s) : <path to a 
dir> : Not a file. to "Script <path to dir> is not a file. etc.

> Hod should have better error messages.

>    Affects Versions: 0.16.3
>            Reporter: Arkady Borkovsky
>            Assignee: Vinod Kumar Vavilapalli

> (1)
> gsgw1037:/homes/arkady/CDSR> hod allocate -n 4 -d xx
> error: bin/hod failed to start.
> error: invalid 'clusterdir' specified in section hod (--hod.clusterdir): xx
> error: 1 problem found.
> Check your command line options and/or your configuration file 
> /grid/0/kryptonite/hod/conf/hodrc
>    * Directory 'xx' does not exist - the message shuold say "Non-existing 
> directory" (or "directory not found"), not "invalid"
>    * checking the configuration file will not help, the advice is confusing
>    * checking the command line options is the obvious thing to do -- the 
> advise is unnecessary.
> (2) when hod does not understand the command, it prints the whole help 
> options message -- which clobbers the screen and is confusing. It should give 
> a meaningful message -- and may say "type hod help for more info"
