Agree, we need to be used to the idea of passing both types of args. For example Hadoop args let you control the number of mappers/reducers, and users will have to control that, and maybe 10 other options I can rattle off.
We shouldn't, and can't, disable the arguments that Hadoop users would be used to. We don't want to duplicate all of them with custom params, but, for really common args (like, required ones) I see the utility. So sure add back -i etc. On Fri, May 28, 2010 at 2:26 PM, Ted Dunning <[email protected]> wrote: > I think that we need to handle both approaches for the traditional -D stuff > from hadoop.
