Will Oberman created CASSANDRA-5150:
---------------------------------------
Summary: sstable2json doesn't check SIGPIPE
Key: CASSANDRA-5150
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5150
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Tools
Reporter: Will Oberman
Priority: Minor
I believe this explains the issue better than I can:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11695500/how-do-i-get-java-to-exit-when-piped-to-head.
Basically, I expected that if I did: "sstable2json SSTABLE | other-process",
and other-process had issues and/or died then the sstable2json process would
die. It doesn't.
My workaround is using mkfifo FILE, and having sstable2json write to FILE,
other-process read from FILE, and a 3rd overall process make sure the other two
processes are working. But, it would be _much_ simplier if sstable2json failed
on SIGPIPE.
I looks like the fix is to periodically check System.out.checkError() in the
Java.
