> I run distcpv2 in a scripted manner. The script checks if the distcp step fails and, if so, aborts the rest of the script. However, I ran into an issue today where the distcp job failed, but my calling script went on its merry way.
> Digging into the code a bit more (at https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/hadoop/common/trunk/hadoop-tools/hadoop-distcp/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/tools/DistCp.java), I think I see the issue: the distcp app is not returning an error exit code to the shell when the distcp job fails. This is a big problem, IMO, as it prevents distcp from being successfully used in a scripted environment. IMO, the code should change like so:
> Before:
> {code:title=org.apache.hadoop.tools.DistCp.java}
> //...
> public int run(String[] argv) {
> //...
> try {
> execute();
> } catch (InvalidInputException e) {
> LOG.error("Invalid input: ", e);
> return DistCpConstants.INVALID_ARGUMENT;
> } catch (DuplicateFileException e) {
> LOG.error("Duplicate files in input path: ", e);
> return DistCpConstants.DUPLICATE_INPUT;
> } catch (Exception e) {
> LOG.error("Exception encountered ", e);
> return DistCpConstants.UNKNOWN_ERROR;
> }
> return DistCpConstants.SUCCESS;
> }
> //...
> {code}
> After:
> {code:title=org.apache.hadoop.tools.DistCp.java}
> //...
> public int run(String[] argv) {
> //...
> Job job = null;
> try {
> job = execute();
> } catch (InvalidInputException e) {
> LOG.error("Invalid input: ", e);
> return DistCpConstants.INVALID_ARGUMENT;
> } catch (DuplicateFileException e) {
> LOG.error("Duplicate files in input path: ", e);
> return DistCpConstants.DUPLICATE_INPUT;
> } catch (Exception e) {
> LOG.error("Exception encountered ", e);
> return DistCpConstants.UNKNOWN_ERROR;
> }
> if (job.isSuccessful()) {
> return DistCpConstants.SUCCESS;
> }
> else {
> return DistCpConstants.UNKNOWN_ERROR;
> }
> }
> //...
> {code}
