Sean Mackrory updated BIGTOP-1125:
----------------------------------

    Attachment: bigtop-1125-test.txt
                0001-BIGTOP-1125.-Return-value-does-not-reflect-status-ch.patch

Good point, Mark, although the return value was going to be 0 with or without 
my patch. I've attached a patch that uses 'return' instead of 'exit' more 
consistently and returns values that better represent the status, and I've also 
attached a transcript of my test sequence, which I have read through and 
verified that the output was always what I thought it should be.

I have only made changes for the single-process use case. The function for 
starting and stopping multiple daemons also returns 0 unconditionally, as I 
recall there being a reason for that, so perhaps lets wait on adding any extra 
complexity to that function. Any users of the multiple-process feature would 
need to query the status to know which had failed, anyway.

> The init script for HBase RegionServers that supports multiple processes is 
> always returning 0. It should return 0 on success of non-zero on failure. In 
> the case of running multiple processes, failure is defined as a failure 
> There are already different constants defined in the file (e.g. different 
> values for failures in all process, failures in some processes, failures in 
> no processes... etc.), we just need to return them properly.
> Although this affects the 0.7.0 RC, I don't consider it a big enough deal to 
> warrant -1'ing the RC, which I'm still testing.
