Description

Oozie client "jobs -filter" diagnostic message clarification
$ oozie jobs -filter 'status=RUNNING,user=udb_grid'
Error: E0420 : E0420: Invalid jobs filter [status=RUNNING,user=udb_grid], elements must be name=value pairs
The diagnostic wording should be "elements must be semicolon-separated name=value pairs".
The documentation might note that because a semicolon is used (in place, say of a comma), the entire filter string must be quoted or escaped to prevent the shell from stopping at the semicolon.
