Radek Skokan commented on HADOOP-7193: -------------------------------------- Hi guys, it seems that hadoop-1.0.4 still has the old help message text: $ hadoop fs -help touchz -touchz <path>: Write a timestamp in yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss format in a file at <path>. An error is returned if the file exists with non-zero length > Help message is wrong for touchz command. > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-7193 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7193 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: fs > Affects Versions: 0.21.0 > Reporter: Uma Maheswara Rao G > Assignee: Uma Maheswara Rao G > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.21.1, 0.22.0, 0.23.0 > > Attachments: HADOOP-7193.patch, HADOOP-7193.patch > > > Help message for touchz command is > -touchz <path>: Write a timestamp in yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss format > in a file at <path>.

Just it is creating zero size file. > So better to change the help message to give exact meaning. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
