Xuan Gong commented on YARN-1314: --------------------------------- bq.Can each argument be complex as I describe above? It is matching regular shell behavior. I think so. Try this command : {code} --shell_command echo --shell_args YARN HADOOP "'\\\"\\\$MYARG\\\"'" -shell_env "MYARG=myval" {code} We can get the expect output. As long as we give the valid argument, it will give the expected output. > Cannot pass more than 1 argument to shell command > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: YARN-1314 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-1314 > Project: Hadoop YARN > Issue Type: Bug > Components: applications/distributed-shell > Reporter: Tassapol Athiapinya > Assignee: Xuan Gong > Fix For: 2.2.1 > > Attachments: YARN-1314.1.patch, YARN-1314.1.patch, YARN-1314.2.patch > > > Distributed shell cannot accept more than 1 parameters in argument parts. > All of these commands are treated as 1 parameter: > /usr/bin/yarn org.apache.hadoop.yarn.applications.distributedshell.Client > -jar <distrubuted shell jar> -shell_command echo -shell_args "'"My name" > "is Teddy"'" > /usr/bin/yarn org.apache.hadoop.yarn.applications.distributedshell.Client > -jar <distrubuted shell jar> -shell_command echo -shell_args "''My name' > 'is Teddy''" > /usr/bin/yarn org.apache.hadoop.yarn.applications.distributedshell.Client > -jar <distrubuted shell jar> -shell_command echo -shell_args "'My name' > 'is Teddy'" -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1#6144)
