G G created HBASE-10381:
---------------------------
Summary: HBase shell scripts do not handle whitespaces in path
names
Key: HBASE-10381
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-10381
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Components: scripts
Affects Versions: 0.96.0
Environment: Windows, Linux
Reporter: G G
When setting one of the HBASE_CONF_DIR, HBASE_LOG_DIR, or HBASE_CLASSPATH
environment variables to a directory containing a whitespace, the Linux shell
scripts to start/stop hbase daemons (bin/start-hbase.sh) resp. the scripts it
calls stop working. I tried to create a patch for this but unfortunately my
shell-script knowledge does not suffice.
In some lines, escaping the used environment variables seems to do the trick
but I was not able to fix the code that builds the command line in bin/hbase
which looks like this:
{noformat}
HBASE_OPTS="$HBASE_OPTS -Dhbase.log.dir=$HBASE_LOG_DIR"
...
{noformat}
If HBASE_LOG_DIR is e.g. "/tmp/foo bar" then HBASE_OPTS becomes "...
-Dhbase.log.dir=/tmp/foo bar" and when java is started it interprets bar as the
main-class argument.
On Windows, HBase would not start unless I escaped the HBASE_CONF_DIR
environment variable using double quotes.
If anyone has an idea on how to fix this, I could try to build a patch.
