-------------------------------------
Summary: Address hbase-shell commands with unintentional return
values
Key: HBASE-24722
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-24722
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: shell
Affects Versions: 3.0.0-alpha-1, 2.3.0
Reporter: Elliot Miller
Assignee: Elliot Miller
There are a number of commands in hbase-shell that return values that are
undocumented or otherwise do not makes sense.
The commands that will be addressed by this ticket were found in a survey of
all the hbase shell commands, https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-24672.
Subtasks:
* Fix commands that return the number of printed lines (usually the number 1).
** Affected commands (culprits): is_disabled, balancer, normalize,
normalizer_switch, normalizer_enabled, catalogjanitor_switch,
catalogjanitor_enabled, cleaner_chore_switch, cleaner_chore_enabled,
splitormerge_switch, splitormerge_enabled, clear_deadservers, clear_block_cache
** I am updating these 13 commands to either return a value that makes sense
or return nil if a sensible return value doesn't exist.
* Fix commands that return true or false as a String
** Affected commands (culprits): balance_switch, snapshot_cleanup_switch,
enable_rpc_throttle, disable_rpc_throttle, enable_exceed_throttle_quota,
disable_exceed_throttle_quota
** I am updating these 6 commands to return ruby's TrueClass or FalseClass
rather than a String
