Yuanbo Liu commented on HDFS-10172: ----------------------------------- The reason why other hdfs commands do not have -usage command is that those classes of commands override the method "run" when they inherit FsShell, but the class of command "erasurecode" does not override it. > hdfs erasurecode command should remove the redundant -usage option > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HDFS-10172 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-10172 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 3.0.0 > Reporter: Wei-Chiu Chuang > Priority: Minor > Labels: newbie > > {{hdfs erasurecode}} has two similar options {{-help}} and {{-usage}}. > {noformat} > hdfs erasurecode -usage getPolicy > Usage: hdfs erasurecode [generic options] -getPolicy <path> > hdfs erasurecode -help getPolicy > -getPolicy <path> : > Get erasure coding policy information about at specified path > {noformat} > I don't think the -usage option is that useful, because -help option already > covers that. No other HDFS commands has the same -usage command. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
