Enis Soztutar commented on HADOOP-1436: --------------------------------------- If i were a regular hadoop user, i would prefer the issue that deprecates anything to be listed in Incompatible changes. A hadoop client, could easily ignore improvements, optimizations and bug fixes sections and go for only new features and incompatible changes. I agree with the deprecation/removal cycle, but i do no see any counter-argument against listing both changes in incompatible changes. Notice also that HADOOP-1621 is already listed in incompatible changes section. > Redesign Tool and ToolBase API and releted functionality > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-1436 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1436 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: util > Affects Versions: 0.15.0 > Reporter: Enis Soztutar > Assignee: Enis Soztutar > Fix For: 0.15.0 > > Attachments: redesignToolAndRelated_v1.0.patch, > redesignToolAPI_v1.1.patch, redesignToolAPI_v1.2.patch, > redesignToolAPI_v1.3.patch > > > With the discussion from HADOOP-1425, we need better abstraction and better > tool runner utilities. > 1. Classes do not need to extend ToolBase > 2. functions for parsing general HadoopCommands (-fs, -conf, -jt) should be > public > 3. We need a ToolRunner, or similar functionality > 4. Also we need each class (implementing Tool) to be runnable (main method) > 5. CLI objects can be passed to run method of the Tool class (arguable) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
