Thoralf Gutierrez updated HBASE-18842:
--------------------------------------
Attachment: 0003-HBASE-18842-Fix-unknown-namespace-message-in-clone_s.patch
Yes. Here is a patch with the added test (and a bonus test for the other
handled exception of clone_snapshot).
I tried to find the best place to put it as there doesn't seem to be other
tests of the kind, i.e. tests that test the commands from the point of view of
the shell. (We have to take that point of view if we want to catch the error
that would be returned to the user and not the error returned by the Java
exception).
You will notice that the tests clean up after themselves but before as well.
This is a bit annoying but the only way I could get my tests to work without
going to fix all of the other tests that already exist by making sure they
clean up after themselves too. I started doing that but the commit was becoming
ugly and difficult to cherrypick on older branches.
Tests pass locally on master and branch-1.4, I did not go further in the past.

> 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}
