Arun C Murthy commented on HADOOP-1425:
---------------------------------------

I'm with Raghu on this one...

One option would add a convenience method (in Configuration.java?) to parse the 
generic arguments to build the Configuration  and return a String[] of the 
non-generic arguments... that would also solve one of my peeves with ToolBase:

$ BigMapOutput -D parameter=value -input <path> -output <path>
works, whereas:
$ BigMapOutput  -input <path> -output <path> -D parameter=value
doesnt work as expected (i.e. the config doesn't have the parameter set to the 
value).

> Rework the various programs in 'examples' to extend ToolBase
