Sean Busbey created ACCUMULO-2972:
-------------------------------------
Summary: ChangeSecret needs better documentation
Key: ACCUMULO-2972
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-2972
Project: Accumulo
Issue Type: Bug
Components: docs
Affects Versions: 1.6.0, 1.5.1, 1.5.0
Reporter: Sean Busbey
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 1.5.2, 1.6.1
Right now, the only mention of how to change an instance secret [is a note on
the instance.secret
property|http://accumulo.apache.org/1.6/accumulo_user_manual.html#_instance_secret]
and the example invocation is wrong.
The correct invocation:
{code}
accumulo org.apache.accumulo.server.util.ChangeSecret
{code}
The instructions should specify the following caveats
# The cluster must be down before running (verified by the tool)
# The command should be run as the user that controls the existing Accumlo
files in HDFS (ref ACCUMULO-2971)
The instructions for use should probably go in the troubleshooting section of
the manual, and then get a link from the instance.secret property as well as
[the accumulo settings section that talks about the instance
secret|http://accumulo.apache.org/1.6/accumulo_user_manual.html#_accumulo_settings].
