Status: Patch Available (was: Open)

> Key: CHUKWA-641
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CHUKWA-641

> Chukwa sometimes crashes with an unhelpful stack trace. In particular, a
> PatternSyntaxException is thrown when an invalid regular expression is passed
> to the dumpChunk command. This exception isn't useful to users to diagnose
> the error. I think it would be better to report a detailed error message. The
> attached patch makes this change.
> Steps to reproduce:
> # Run 'bin/chukwa dumpChunk "tags.=(" file'
> # dumpChunk command fails to start
> # See exception:
> {code}
> Exception in thread "main" java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException:
> Unclosed group near index 1
> (
