------------------------------------------
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.
