Aditya Acharya commented on HBASE-2921:
---------------------------------------
I've had mixed results trying to use pty with subprocess. It sort of works, but
it's a lot more fragile than just using subprocess and connecting pipes to
stdin, stdout, and stderr.
I think it would be a good addition if the hbase shell had a --force-tty
option. I'm changing this bug to a feature request.

> Key: HBASE-2921
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2921
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: shell
> Affects Versions: 0.89.20100621
> Reporter: Aditya Acharya
> Original Estimate: 1h
> Remaining Estimate: 1h
>
> When you start the HBase shell from bash, you see the following prompt:
> hbase(main):001:0>
> And typing in "conf" as the command yields the following prompt-related
> information:
> conf.prompt_c="%N(%m):%03n:%i* "
> conf.prompt_i="%N(%m):%03n:%i> "
> conf.prompt_mode=:DEFAULT
> conf.prompt_n="%N(%m):%03n:%i> "
> conf.prompt_s="%N(%m):%03n:%i%l "
> On the other hand, opening the HBase shell as python subprocess yields an
> empty string as the prompt string. Furthermore, sending it the "conf" command
> through a pipe yields the following output:
> conf.prompt_c=nil
> conf.prompt_i=nil
> conf.prompt_mode=:NULL
> conf.prompt_n=nil
> conf.prompt_s=nil
> I think this is a bug in the HBase shell. I'm not sure where it occurs, but I
> have found that it can be easily patched up by hard-coding the prompt
> information into bin/hirb.rb. This seems like the most appropriate fix, as
> bin/hirb.rb already modifies the conf for the interpreter.
