Mingliang Liu updated HDFS-10986: --------------------------------- Description: There are some subcommands in {{DFSAdmin}} that swallow IOException and give very limited error message, if any, to the stderr. {code} $ hdfs dfsadmin -getBalancerBandwidth 127.0.0.1:9866 Datanode unreachable. $ hdfs dfsadmin -getDatanodeInfo localhost:9866 Datanode unreachable. $ hdfs dfsadmin -evictWriters 127.0.0.1:9866 $ echo $? -1 {code} User is not able to get the exception stack even the LOG level is DEBUG. This is not very user friendly. Fortunately, if the port number is not accessible (say 9999), users can infer the detailed error message by IPC logs: {code} $ hdfs dfsadmin -getBalancerBandwidth 127.0.0.1:9999 2016-10-07 18:01:35,115 WARN util.NativeCodeLoader: Unable to load native-hadoop library for your platform... using builtin-java classes where applicable 2016-10-07 18:01:36,335 INFO ipc.Client: Retrying connect to server: localhost/127.0.0.1:9999.
