------------------------------------

             Summary: Fix completebulkload usage instructions
                 Key: HBASE-21536
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-21536
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: documentation, mapreduce
            Reporter: Artem Ervits
            Assignee: Artem Ervits


Usage information upon invoking LoadIncrementalHFiles is misleading and error-prone.
{code:java}
usage: completebulkload /path/to/hfileoutputformat-output tablename -loadTable
-Dcreate.table=no - can be used to avoid creation of table by this tool
Note: if you set this to 'no', then the target table must already exist in HBase
-loadTable implies your baseDirectory to store file has a depth of 3 ,you must have an existing table
-Dignore.unmatched.families=yes - can be used to ignore unmatched column families{code}
in case of invoking the class via hbase command, completebulkload argument is unnecessary and only required via hadoop jar invocation. This is also an attempt to clarify where <-loadTable> and <-Dargs> arguments go on the command line.
