Thomas Graves commented on HDFS-2745:
-------------------------------------

I do also find it a little odd that hadoop-daemon.sh could conceivably run 
dfsadmin/fsck, and arguably the balancer as well. Perhaps we should remove 
those from hadoop-daemon.sh as well, since we're removing dfs. Thoughts?

I agree this seems odd to me.  I wasn't even aware of it before this patch.

I also propose that for branch-2 we don't actually remove hdfs dfs but 
deprecate and hide it, trunk actually removes it.   My reasoning is we have it 
in branch-0.23 and I know customers are using and want to give them one release 
to move off. Its also there is anyone who has started to use branch-2.  any 
objections?

> Its unclear to users which command to use to access the filesystem. Need some 
> background and then we can fix accordingly. We have 3 choices:
> hadoop dfs -> says its deprecated and to use hdfs.  If I run hdfs usage it 
> doesn't list any options like -ls in the usage, although there is an hdfs dfs 
> command
> hdfs dfs -> not in the usage of hdfs. If we recommend it when running hadoop 
> dfs it should atleast be in the usage.
> hadoop fs -> seems like one to use it appears generic for any filesystem.
> Any input on this what is the recommended way to do this?  Based on that we 
> can fix up the other issues.
