Ryan Skraba created AVRO-2649:
---------------------------------
Summary: [Java] Argument order counts in avro-tools cli.
Key: AVRO-2649
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2649
Project: Apache Avro
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 1.9.1
Reporter: Ryan Skraba
The following command line works:
{code}
$ avrotool compile -string -bigDecimal schema
./lang/java/tools/src/test/compiler/input/fieldtest.avsc /tmp/output
Input files to compile:
./lang/java/tools/src/test/compiler/input/fieldtest.avsc
{code}
Switching the first two flags causes an error:
{code}
rskraba@tlnd-rskraba:~/working/github/avro$ avrotool compile -bigDecimal
-string schema ./lang/java/tools/src/test/compiler/input/fieldtest.avsc
/tmp/output
Expected "schema" or "protocol".
{code}
There's really no need to enforce a command line option order, especially for
flags, and it's not user friendly. Most CLI tools don't. There's several good
command line parsers to help.
