----------------------------------------
Summary: Shell du command doesn't work unless in table context
Key: ACCUMULO-1513
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1513
Project: Accumulo
Issue Type: Bug
Components: shell
Affects Versions: 1.5.0
Reporter: Billie Rinaldi
The du command is borrowing some of our standard TableOperation syntax but not
all of it, and it's confusing. For other table operations, you can either
specify a table name as in "command -t tableName", or enter a table context
with "table tableName" and then enter just "command".
Du takes a list of tables. Currently it doesn't work unless you're in a table
context. When you're in a table context, it adds that table to the list of
tables specified for the command.
My initial thought is that it should ignore the table context entirely, just
take the list of tables and du them. I'm not sure it makes a lot of sense to
run "table t1", "du t2", and get back the results of "du t1 t2". On the other
hand, I could see it being useful to just run du with no options in a table
context and get back the du for that table, so I'm neutral on implementing
this. However, we should definitely make du work outside of a table context.
