Sun's java code convention (published in year of 97) suggest 80 column per
line for old-style terminals. It sounds pretty old, However, I saw some
developers (not me :)) like to open multiple terminals in one screen for
coding/debugging so 80-colum could be just fit. Google's java convention (

I edit in an 80-column Emacs window that just fits beside an 80-column
shell window on a portrait-rotated 24" monitor.

Indeed. But I, for one, have had more than 80 characters per line ever since I
got a vt-100 terminal. I don't know of any dev environments in common use today
that can't display >100 characters.

The 80 character limit is for legibility across dev environments. If
it's impeding that goal in bash, then nobody will insist on it.
Since HADOOP-9902 rewrites most of this code, the particular cases can
be worked through in that JIRA. -C

Hello Allen,
I looked at last patch and personally I don't see any major issue, perhaps
JVM flags, URLs and configuration keys might be better to define as
environment variables if you want to reduce the length of the lines but I
think legibility is more important.
cheers,

Cloudera,
Allen, et. al.,
I'm not sure how up to date that checklist is, but imposing such a small
size on cmd arguments seems incredibly short sighted. I'm pretty sure that
it is not a generally accepted limit. I've seen MANY Hadoop processes
require lengthy CLASS_PATHS that were easily over 240 chars.
Hey Allen,
I am not a shell scripting expert but I have written few and used/seen many
from including top 3 enterprise software giants. I don't think everyone
sticks to 80 char guidelines, may be this is remnant of the old 80 char
terminals. I prefer long descriptive names for the env vars (or var
