Aleksandr updated IGNITE-20179:
-------------------------------
Description:
We have several command options that should accept a list of strings, for
example {{cluster init --cmg-nodes}}. cmg-nodes can accept a single sting,
string with comma-separated node names without a space, and finally, can be
repeated.
Imagine you are a user that types a command
{{[defaultNode]> cluster init --cluster-name my --meta-storage-node defaultNode
--cmg-node defaultNode, defaultNode2}}
And get the error:
Unmatched argument at index 7: 'defaultNode2'
That is not clear what is wrong but the reason is that you typed a space before
comma.
I suggest rethinking the way CLI supports lists of strings and offering a more
user-friendly solution. Probably, we have to redefine our own jline3 parser. I
would expect and least a clear error message about what is wrong and how to fix
it.
Another challenge here is to improve autocompletion in interactive mode.
Imagine I want to use <TAB> completion against a cluster of two nodes node1 and
node2:
{{[defaultNode]> cluster init --cluster-name my --meta-storage-node <TAB1>node1
--meta-storage-no}}
> CLI should provide user-friendly list options
