--------------------------------------
Summary: hbase shell does not work on ppc64le
Key: BIGTOP-2743
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-2743
Project: Bigtop
Issue Type: Bug
Components: hbase
Affects Versions: 1.2.0
Reporter: Kevin W Monroe
After upgrading HBase to 1.1.9 in BIGTOP-2740, the HMaster and RegionServer
processes look good on ppc64le. This is a significant improvement, as the
previous version (1.1.3) did not work at all.
However, {{hbase shell}} still fails like this with 1.1.9:
{noformat}
$ hbase shell

This stems from an incompatibility in the JLine version that ships with the
updated JRuby lib (which is required for ppc64le). See HBASE-13338 and [jruby
issue|https://github.com/jruby/jruby/issues/2912] for details.
You can work around this by patching {{formatter.rb}}:

It's not ideal, but it's a simple enough workaround for anyone needing hbase
shell on ppc64le.
I'm opening this jira to determine how best to apply this workaround, or where
to document this as a limitation of HBase 1.1.x on ppc64le.
