             Summary: Correct timestamp format in the docs for the touch command
                 Key: HADOOP-17585
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-17585
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Stephen O'Donnell
            Assignee: Stephen O'Donnell


The touch command was added by HADOOP-9214, but the usage instructions and docs have never aligned with the code.

The code uses a timestamp format of:

{code}
 new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd:HHmmss");
{code}

But the docs indicate it should be yyyyMMddHHmmss.

While I believe the format in the docs is better, tools or applications may be relying on the old format now, so I suggest we simply update the docs and usage, and improve the error message if the wrong format is used.
