Andrew Kyle Purtell closed HBASE-10381.
---------------------------------------
> HBase shell scripts do not handle whitespaces in path names
> -----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-10381
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-10381
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: scripts
> Affects Versions: 0.96.0
> Environment: Windows, Linux
> Reporter: G G
> Priority: Major
>
> When setting one of the HBASE_CONF_DIR, HBASE_LOG_DIR, or HBASE_CLASSPATH
> environment variables to a directory containing a whitespace, the Linux shell
> scripts to start/stop hbase daemons (bin/start-hbase.sh) resp. the scripts it
> calls stop working. I tried to create a patch for this but unfortunately my
> shell-script knowledge does not suffice.
> In some lines, escaping the used environment variables seems to do the trick
> but I was not able to fix the code that builds the command line in bin/hbase
> which looks like this:
> {noformat}
> HBASE_OPTS="$HBASE_OPTS -Dhbase.log.dir=$HBASE_LOG_DIR"
> ...
> {noformat}
> If HBASE_LOG_DIR is e.g. "/tmp/foo bar" then HBASE_OPTS becomes "...
> -Dhbase.log.dir=/tmp/foo bar" and when java is started it interprets bar as
> the main-class argument.
> On Windows, HBase would not start unless I escaped the HBASE_CONF_DIR
> environment variable using double quotes.
> If anyone has an idea on how to fix this, I could try to build a patch.
