Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-11543:
-------------------------------------------

You folks are basically helping me to confirm that my conviction to stop 
committing to branch-2 is a good one. :D

The problem here is that the --loglevel option isn't being handled by 
yarn-config.sh like it is in hadoop-config.sh.  This is purely a branch-2 
problem since trunk's shell rewrite consolidated almost all of that 
functionality.

As it stands, the --loglevel option in the usage message as of this last commit:
a) doesn't work in the case of yarn
b) is a bad message because it doesn't actually hint that loglevel takes a 
parameter

Additionally, in the case of trunk, I think a follow to HADOOP-11495 might be 
to drop *all* of the -- parameters from the usage messages, put [GENERIC SHELL 
OPTS] (or something) in place, and point folks to the documentation or provider 
a helper function in hadoop-functions.sh that prints them all out, maybe tied 
to a --extendedhelp or if a user specifically calls help|h|? .
