Wei-Chiu Chuang created HADOOP-12652: ----------------------------------------
Summary: Error message in Shell.checkIsBashSupported is misleading Key: HADOOP-12652 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12652 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Bug Components: util Reporter: Wei-Chiu Chuang Assignee: Wei-Chiu Chuang Shell.checkIsBashSupported() creates a bash shell command to verify if the system supports bash. However, its error message is misleading, and the logic should be updated. If the shell command throws an IOException, it does not imply the bash did not run successfully. If the shell command process was interrupted, its internal logic throws an InterruptedIOException, which is a subclass of IOException. {code:title=Shell.checkIsBashSupported|borderStyle=solid} ShellCommandExecutor shexec; boolean supported = true; try { String[] args = {"bash", "-c", "echo 1000"}; shexec = new ShellCommandExecutor(args); shexec.execute(); } catch (IOException ioe) { LOG.warn("Bash is not supported by the OS", ioe); supported = false; } {code} An example of it appeared in a recent jenkins job https://builds.apache.org/job/PreCommit-HADOOP-Build/8257/testReport/org.apache.hadoop.ipc/TestRPCWaitForProxy/testInterruptedWaitForProxy/ {noformat} 2015-12-16 21:31:53,797 WARN util.Shell (Shell.java:checkIsBashSupported(718)) - Bash is not supported by the OS java.io.InterruptedIOException: java.lang.InterruptedException at org.apache.hadoop.util.Shell.runCommand(Shell.java:930) at org.apache.hadoop.util.Shell.run(Shell.java:838) at org.apache.hadoop.util.Shell$ShellCommandExecutor.execute(Shell.java:1117) at org.apache.hadoop.util.Shell.checkIsBashSupported(Shell.java:716) at org.apache.hadoop.util.Shell.<clinit>(Shell.java:705) at org.apache.hadoop.util.StringUtils.<clinit>(StringUtils.java:79) at org.apache.hadoop.security.SecurityUtil.getAuthenticationMethod(SecurityUtil.java:639) at org.apache.hadoop.security.UserGroupInformation.initialize(UserGroupInformation.java:273) at org.apache.hadoop.security.UserGroupInformation.ensureInitialized(UserGroupInformation.java:261) at org.apache.hadoop.security.UserGroupInformation.loginUserFromSubject(UserGroupInformation.java:803) at org.apache.hadoop.security.UserGroupInformation.getLoginUser(UserGroupInformation.java:773) at org.apache.hadoop.security.UserGroupInformation.getCurrentUser(UserGroupInformation.java:646) at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.RPC.waitForProtocolProxy(RPC.java:397) at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.RPC.waitForProtocolProxy(RPC.java:350) at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.RPC.waitForProxy(RPC.java:330) at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.TestRPCWaitForProxy$RpcThread.run(TestRPCWaitForProxy.java:115) Caused by: java.lang.InterruptedException at java.lang.Object.wait(Native Method) at java.lang.Object.wait(Object.java:503) at java.lang.UNIXProcess.waitFor(UNIXProcess.java:264) at org.apache.hadoop.util.Shell.runCommand(Shell.java:920) ... 15 more {noformat} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
