HDFS shell commands not as expected
-----------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-2498
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2498
Project: Hadoop
Issue Type: Bug
Components: dfs
Reporter: Robert Chansler
(a) -help
* the usage line is wrong as it suggests that multiple commands
(options) can be put into one command line. it is not clear which
options can be comb ine with which.
* it does not explain what a <path> is -- it is supposed to be a
URI -- what is the syntax?
* it does not explain how to specify the "file system URI" -- it
should suggest where to look to get this info.
(b) -du, -ls -- other commands
* breaks a file name contains a ":" -- even if this not a file
in the command, but on in a directory the command reached
(c) -get -getmerge does not work -- the arguments are taken, but the
output file is not created
(d) -setrep -- lies about having set the replication factor (for
local it should say it can do nothing)
