[jira] [Commented] (SPARK-7367) spark-submit CLI --help -h overrides the application arguments

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-7367?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14528481#comment-14528481 ]

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

Seems reasonable, but at the same time, why would this interact with your app's flags?

> The spark-submit script will parse the --help argument even if is provided as application argument.
> E.g. 
> spark-submit --master local[*] --driver-memory 4G --class bar.foo.MyClass /MyLocalJAR.jar --help
> or
> spark-submit --master local[*] --driver-memory 4G --class bar.foo.MyClass /MyLocalJAR.jar -h
> If my application is using a parsing library, such as Scallop, then it will never be able to run the application with --help as argument.
> I think the spark-submit script should only print the help message when is provided as single argument like this:
> spark-submit --help
> or it should provide a separator for trailing arguments:
> spark-submit --master local[*] --driver-memory 4G --class bar.foo.MyClass /MyLocalJAR.jar -- --help --arg1 --arg2
