[jira] [Created] (HADOOP-9723) Improve error message when hadoop archive output path already exists

Stephen Chu created HADOOP-9723:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: Improve error message when hadoop archive output path already exists
                 Key: HADOOP-9723
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9723
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 2.0.4-alpha, 3.0.0
            Reporter: Stephen Chu
            Priority: Trivial


When creating a hadoop archive and specifying an output path of an already existing file, we get an "Invalid Output" error message.

{code}
[schu@hdfs-vanilla-1 ~]$ hadoop archive -archiveName foo.har -p /user/schu testDir1 /user/schu
Invalid Output: /user/schu/foo.har
{code}

This error can be improved to tell users immediately that the output path already exists.
