Raghu Angadi commented on HADOOP-1425:
--------------------------------------

bq. How did you create 'conf'?
just like we create conf anywhere, {{new Configuration();}}, for e.g.. ToolBase 
does not create conf.

Actual use case in DFSAdmin.java:

{code}
  /**
   * main() has some simple utility methods.
   * @param argv Command line parameters.
   * @exception Exception if the filesystem does not exist.
   */
  public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {
    int res = new DFSAdmin().doMain(new Configuration(), argv);
    System.exit(res);
  }
{code}

Note that ToolBase forces the subclass to call {{doMain()}} and implement 
{{run()}}.
