[jira] Created: (HADOOP-2498) HDFS shell commands not as expected

HDFS shell commands not as expected
-----------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-2498
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2498
             Project: Hadoop
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: dfs
            Reporter: Robert Chansler


(a) -help
    * the usage line is wrong as it suggests that multiple commands  
(options) can be put into one command line. it is not clear which  
options can be comb ine with which.
    * it does not explain what a <path> is -- it is supposed to be a  
URI -- what is the syntax?
    * it does not explain how to specify the "file system URI"  -- it  
should suggest where to look to get this info.

(b) -du, -ls -- other commands
    * breaks a file name contains a ":"  -- even if this not a file  
in the command, but on in a directory the command reached

(c) -get -getmerge does not work -- the arguments are taken, but the  
output file is not created

(d) -setrep -- lies about having set the replication factor  (for  
local it should say it can do nothing)
