Allen Wittenauer created HADOOP-11002: -----------------------------------------
Summary: shell escapes are incompatible with previous releases Key: HADOOP-11002 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-11002 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Bug Components: scripts Reporter: Allen Wittenauer Post-HADOOP-9902, the following in namenode opts doesn't work without being escaped: {code} -XX:HeapDumpPath=./java_pid_<pid>.hprof {code} This is a bit of surprising behavior to the users. The breakage is directly result of the code that fixes spaces in directories. Since it is much more likely to hit weird metacharacters in shell than have directories with spaces, that part of HADOOP-9902 needs to get replaced. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
