-----------------------------------------
Summary: The hbase shell clone_snaphost command returns bad error
message
Key: HBASE-18842
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-18842
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Thoralf Gutierrez
Priority: Minor
When you call the hbase shell clone_snapshot command with a target namespace
that doesn't exist, you get an error message, but the variable used to identify
the inexistent namespace is wrong:
{noformat}
hbase(main):001:0> clone_snapshot 'someSnapshotName',
'someNamespaceName:someTableName'
ERROR: Unknown namespace someSnapshotName!
Create a new table by cloning the snapshot content.
There're no copies of data involved.
And writing on the newly created table will not influence the snapshot data.
Examples:
hbase> clone_snapshot 'snapshotName', 'tableName'
hbase> clone_snapshot 'snapshotName', 'namespace:tableName'
{noformat}
It should rather say:
{noformat}
ERROR: Unknown namespace someNamespaceName!
{noformat}
