Larry McCay commented on HADOOP-10177: -------------------------------------- Actually, I think that I misunderstood your expectations. "key" and "create" are examples of command and subcommand. "key1" is an argument to the subcommand. The thinking was that they were subcommands which required no dashes and then the options required double dashes - since they were full words. Again, the help should illustrate what is expected. > Create CLI tools for managing keys via the KeyProvider API > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-10177 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10177 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Components: security > Reporter: Owen O'Malley > Assignee: Larry McCay > Fix For: 0.3.0 > > Attachments: 10177-2.patch, 10177-3.patch, 10177.patch > > > The KeyProvider API provides access to keys, but we need CLI tools to provide > the ability to create and delete keys.
