lohit vijayarenu commented on HADOOP-1952:
------------------------------------------
Ok, I should have mentioned that StreamUtil.goodClassOrNull actually is used to
check if the map command passed is a class or an executable. So, -mapper could
have either a class or just an executable. So, if that is not a valid class, a
null (as the method name indicates) is returned and StreamJob treats it as a
map executable. How about logging at info level inside the goodClassOrNull
class and instead of throwing an exception we fail at appropriate places, when
we do not allow null? If so, I will modify that and submit a patch.
> Streaming does not handle invalid -inputformat (typo by users for example)

> Hadoop Streaming does not handle invalid inputformat class. For example
> -inputformat INVALID class would not be thrown as an error. Instead it
> defaults to StreamInputFormat. If an invalid inputformat is specified, it is
> good to fail.
