[jira] Resolved: (HADOOP-3004) HOD allocate command does not accept '~'

Hemanth Yamijala resolved HADOOP-3004.
--------------------------------------

    Resolution: Invalid

I see the issue. Basically hod isn't doing anything with respect to normalizing ~/clusterdir to /home/user/clusterdir. It relies on the shell to do it. When we specify an option as --hod.clusterdir=~/clusterdir, the shell is not expanding it, while it is, when we specify it as --hod.clusterdir ~/clusterdir. And this not just with hod. Try the same with standard linux commands like tar, cp etc. For e.g. cp --target-directory=~/abc doesn't work while cp --target-directory ~/abc does.

So, closing this as not a bug.
