Sean Busbey created HBASE-20276: ----------------------------------- Summary: [shell] confirm shell REPL change and document Key: HBASE-20276 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20276 Project: HBase Issue Type: Sub-task Components: documentation, shell Affects Versions: 2.0.0 Reporter: Sean Busbey Fix For: 2.0.0
Feedback from [~mdrob] on HBASE-19158: {quote} Shell: HBASE-19770. There was another issue opened where this was identified as a problem so maybe the shape will change further, but I can't find it now. {quote} New commentary from [~busbey]: This was a follow on to HBASE-15965. That change effectively makes it so none of our ruby wrappers can be used to build expressions in an interactive REPL. This is a pretty severe change (most of my tips on HBASE-15611 will break, I think). I think we should a) Have a DISCUSS thread, spanning dev@ and user@ b) based on the outcome of that thread, either default to the new behavior or the old behavior c) if we keep the HBASE-15965 behavior as the default, flag it as incompatible, call it out in the hbase 2.0 upgrade section, and update docs (two examples: the output in the shell_exercises sections would be wrong, and the _table_variables section won't work) d) In either case document the new flag in the ref guide -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
