Enis Soztutar created HADOOP-9660: ------------------------------------- Summary: [WINDOWS] Powershell / cmd parses -Dkey=value from command line as [-Dkey, value] which breaks GenericsOptionParser Key: HADOOP-9660 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9660 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Bug Components: scripts, util Reporter: Enis Soztutar Assignee: Enis Soztutar Fix For: 3.0.0, 2.1.0-beta
When parsing parameters to a class implementing Tool, and using ToolRunner, we can pass {code} bin/hadoop <tool_class> -Dkey=value {code} However, powershell parses the '=' sign itself, and sends it to java as ["-Dkey", "value"] which breaks GenericOptionsParser. Using "-Dkey=value" or '-Dkey=value' does not fix the problem. The only workaround seems to trick PS by using: '"-Dkey=value"' (single + double quote) In cmd, "-Dkey=value" works, but not '"-Dkey=value"'. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4940375/how-do-i-pass-an-equal-sign-when-calling-a-batch-script-in-powershell -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
