In particular, with no options it should print the usage: [EMAIL PROTECTED]> bin/hadoop jar build/hadoop-streaming.jar 07/01/05 11:19:58 ERROR streaming.StreamJob: Missing required option -input Required argument: -input <name> With -help it is a little better, but the old usage was far nicer to read: [EMAIL PROTECTED]> bin/hadoop jar build/hadoop-streaming.jar -help 07/01/05 11:20:43 ERROR streaming.StreamJob: Unexpected -help while processing -input|-output|-mapper|-combiner|-reducer|-file|-dfs|-jt|-inputreader|||-cacheFile|-cacheArchive|-verbose|-info|-debug|-inputtagged Required argument: -input <name> > Streaming should check for correctness of the task > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-476 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-476 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Bug > Components: contrib/streaming > Reporter: arkady borkovsky > Assigned To: Sanjay Dahiya > Attachments: Hadoop-476.patch, Hadoop-476.patch > > > Currently, if anythin is wrong with streaming job, it dies without any > explanation. > Before creating and running actual MapReduce job, Streaming should check if: > -- the executables (or scripts) for -mapper and -reducer are available and > have right permissions > -- the input fragments exist -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
