             Summary: Confusing BulkImport error message
                 Key: ACCUMULO-3352
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-3352
             Project: Accumulo
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: fate
    Affects Versions: 1.6.1
            Reporter: Christopher Tubbs
             Fix For: 1.6.2, 1.7.0


BulkImport fails with a confusing message when it tries to create a temporary 
bulk import directory:
{{_<path>_ is not in a known namespace}}

This is very confusing, because it refers to volumes as "namespace" (an early 
working term for volumes), and it does not clearly explain the constraint that 
bulk imported files must exist in a volume that is configured in Accumulo.

Further, as an {{IllegalStateException}}, the error message does not get 
propagated to the client which initiated the bulk import. Instead, an exception 
gets thrown indicating an error waiting for a Fate operation. One must examine 
the Master logs to determine the actual problem.
