Andy Isaacson created HDFS-3489: ----------------------------------- Summary: hdfs fsck usage message is outdated Key: HDFS-3489 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-3489 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.0.0-alpha Reporter: Andy Isaacson Assignee: Andy Isaacson Priority: Minor
The help message from "hdfs fsck" is misleading in several ways. {code} Usage: DFSck <path> [-list-corruptfileblocks | [-move | -delete | -openforwrite] [-files [-blocks [-locations | -racks]]]] <path> start checking from this path -move move corrupted files to /lost+found -delete delete corrupted files -files print out files being checked -openforwrite print out files opened for write -list-corruptfileblocks print out list of missing blocks and files they belong to -blocks print out block report -locations print out locations for every block -racks print out network topology for data-node locations By default fsck ignores files opened for write, use -openforwrite to report such files. They are usually tagged CORRUPT or HEALTHY depending on their block allocation status Generic options supported are -conf <configuration file> specify an application configuration file -D <property=value> use value for given property -fs <local|namenode:port> specify a namenode -jt <local|jobtracker:port> specify a job tracker -files <comma separated list of files> specify comma separated files to be copied to the map reduce cluster -libjars <comma separated list of jars> specify comma separated jar files to include in the classpath. -archives <comma separated list of archives> specify comma separated archives to be unarchived on the compute machines. The general command line syntax is bin/hadoop command [genericOptions] [commandOptions] {code} - the first line should not say "DFSck" - the -fs option prefers a hdfs:// URI rather than a bare namenode:port pair -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
