Akira AJISAKA commented on MAPREDUCE-6244:
------------------------------------------

bq. We should inspect all job to make their behavior consistent. My thought is 
that it's enough to print usages when the number of given arguments are wrong.
I'm okay with just printing usages. Consistency is more important.

> Hadoop examples when run without an argument, gives ERROR instead of just 
> usage info
