Hi Ben,
I just verified it on trunk,
-D option support already there in Hadoop.
/**
* Print the usage message for generic command-line options supported.
*
* @param out stream to print the usage message to.
*/
public static void printGenericCommandUsage(PrintStream out) {
out.println("Generic options supported are");
out.println("-conf <configuration file> specify an application
configuration file");
out.println("-D <property=value> use value for given property");
out.println("-fs <local|namenode:port> specify a namenode");
out.println("-jt <local|jobtracker:port> specify a job tracker");
out.println("-files <comma separated list of files> " +
"specify comma separated files to be copied to the map reduce cluster");
out.println("-libjars <comma separated list of jars> " +
"specify comma separated jar files to include in the classpath.");
out.println("-archives <comma separated list of archives> " +
"specify comma separated archives to be unarchived" +
" on the compute machines.\n");
out.println("The general command line syntax is");
out.println("bin/hadoop command [genericOptions] [commandOptions]\n");
}
Which version of hadoop you are running?
As part of below JIRA , i will post the tests. You can have a look.
Regards,
Uma
