Dave Latham created HBASE-8025: ---------------------------------- Summary: zkcli fails when SERVER_GC_OPTS is enabled Key: HBASE-8025 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8025 Project: HBase Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 0.94.4 Reporter: Dave Latham Fix For: 0.95.0, 0.98.0, 0.94.7
HBASE-7091 added logic to separate GC logging options for some client commands versus server commands. It uses a list of known client commands ("shell" "hbck" "hlog" "hfile" "zkcli") and uses the server GC logging options for all other invocations of bin/hbase. When zkcli is invoked, it in turn invokes "hbase org.apache.hadoop.hbase.zookeeper.ZooKeeperMainServerArg" to gather the server command line arguments, but because org.apache.hadoop.hbase.zookeeper.ZooKeeperMainServerArg is not on the white list it enables server GC logging, which causes extra output that causes the zkcli invocation to break. HBASE-1753 addressed this but the fix only solved the array syntax - not the white list. There are many other tools you can invoke that are more likely to "client" than "server" options. For example, "bin/hbase org.jruby.Main region_mover.rb" or "bin/hbase org.apache.hadoop.hbase.mapreduce.CopyTable" or "bin/hbase version" or "bin/hbase org.apache.hadoop.hbase.mapreduce.Export". The whitelist of server commands is shorter and easier to maintain than a whitelist of client commands. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
