Karan Mehta commented on HBASE-14925: ------------------------------------- bq. I could not find the start_time variable in the patch and also end_time variable value not being used anywhere in the patch. What am I missing ? Can you point me ? Here is the code snippet from the {{commands.rb}} file. The method {{command_safe()}} is a wrapper to the actual command call which initializes the global variable {{start_time}}. It also automatically computes the value of {{end_time}} and displays the total execution time. We can override these values. Since I didn't want the output formatting and display time to be included in the actual execution of the command, I provided a value to that variable before the output stuff. Does that seem okay? {code} #wrap an execution of cmd to catch hbase exceptions # cmd - command name to execute # args - arguments to pass to the command def command_safe(debug, cmd = :command, *args) # Commands can overwrite start_time to skip time used in some kind of setup. # See count.rb for example. @start_time = Time.now # send is internal ruby method to call 'cmd' with *args #(everything is a message, so this is just the formal semantics to support that idiom) translate_hbase_exceptions(*args) { send(cmd, *args) } rescue => e rootCause = e while rootCause != nil && rootCause.respond_to?(:cause) && rootCause.cause != nil rootCause = rootCause.cause end if @shell.interactive? puts puts "ERROR: #{rootCause}" puts "Backtrace: #{rootCause.backtrace.join("\n ")}" if debug puts puts help puts else raise rootCause end ensure # If end_time is not already set by the command, use current time. @end_time ||= Time.now formatter.output_str("Took %.4f seconds" % [@end_time - @start_time]) {code} > Develop HBase shell command/tool to list table's region info through command > line > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-14925 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-14925 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: shell > Reporter: Romil Choksi > Assignee: Karan Mehta > Attachments: HBASE-14925.002.patch, HBASE-14925.003.patch, > HBASE-14925.patch > > > I am going through the hbase shell commands to see if there is anything I can > use to get all the regions info just for a particular table.
