Summary: Clean up argument parsing in mapred CLI Key: MAPREDUCE-6636 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-6636 Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce Issue Type: Improvement Components: client Reporter: Robert Kanter {{org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.tools.CLI}} manually parses arguments, which has a number of downsides including (a) requiring strict ordering of arguments by the user and (b) it's hard for devs to add new arguments. We should replace all of this with a CLI parsing library like {{org.apache.commons.cli.CommandLineParser}}, which is used in a number of other places already. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
