keith-turner opened a new issue #908: Discuss get jars behavior
URL: https://github.com/apache/fluo/issues/908
 
 
   For get jars command add in #907 the command expects the target directory to exist but does not care if the directory is non-empty.  I found myself wondering if the behavior should change or if the docs should be improved to clearly state the behavior for a non-empty dir while looking at the PR.  I was not sure.  Below are some thoughts I had.
   
    * Should the get jars command create the dir?
    * If the directory is not empty should the get jars command fail?  Their are two use cases to consider.
      * A user intentionally adds jars to a dir before calling get jars and does not expect it to empty.
      * A user unintentionally reuses a dir and expects the dir to be empty when its not and ends ups extra/unexpected jars in the dir.
