Milind Bhandarkar commented on HADOOP-5404:
-------------------------------------------
In addition, multiple -files options fail. Thus,
-files file1,file2 works
but
-files file1 -files file2 does not.
-files should be similar to -D, which can be used multiple times. Haven't
checked -archives and -libjars. But they too, should be allowed multiple times.
> GenericOptionsParser should parse generic options even if they appear after
> Tool-specific options

> Key: HADOOP-5404
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5404
> Project: Hadoop Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: util
> Affects Versions: 0.19.1
> Environment: All
> Reporter: Milind Bhandarkar
>
> Currently, when GenericOptionsParser encounters an unrecognized option, it
> stops processing command-line arguments, and returns the rest to the specific
> Tool. This forces users to remember the order of arguments, and leads to
> errors such as following:
> org.apache.commons.cli.UnrecognizedOptionException: Unrecognized option:
> -Dmapred.reduce.tasks=4
> at org.apache.commons.cli.Parser.processOption(Parser.java:368)
> at org.apache.commons.cli.Parser.parse(Parser.java:185)
> at org.apache.commons.cli.Parser.parse(Parser.java:70)
> at
> MyTool.run(MyTool.java.java:290)
> at org.apache.hadoop.util.ToolRunner.run(ToolRunner.java:65)
> at
> MyTool.main(MyTool.java:19)
> In Hadoop-streaming as well, -D parameters should appear before
> streaming-specific arguments, such as -mapper, -reducer etc.
> If GenericOptionsParser were to scan the entire command-line, ignoring
> unrecognized (tool-specific) options, and returning all unrecognized options
> back to the tool, this problem would be solved.
