[jira] [Commented] (CRUNCH-68) Crunch examples don't accept generic tool arguments

["Roman Shaposhnik (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CRUNCH-68?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13458969#comment-13458969 ] 

Roman Shaposhnik commented on CRUNCH-68:
----------------------------------------

bq. Hmm, looking at AverageBytesByIP and TotalBytesByIP, I think they haven't worked in a while

Perhaps this has nothing to do with generic tool arguments then. Is it worth pursuing bringing them back to life?

> Currently all crunch examples have the following code:
> {noformat}
>     if (args.length != 3) {
>       System.err.println();
>       System.err.println("Usage: " + this.getClass().getName() + " [generic options] input output");
>       System.err.println();
>       GenericOptionsParser.printGenericCommandUsage(System.err);
>       return 1;
>     }
> {noformat}
> this is incorrect since run() gets to see all arguments even generic ones and thus you can't predict the value of 
> args.length.
> This is also, unfortunately a major blocker, for using Crunch with Hadoop 2 because of a MAPREDUCE-4068. 
> Essentially at this point a combination of MAPREDUCE-4068 and inability to pass -libjars makes Crunch example DOA for Hadoop 2 clusters.
