--------------------------------------
Summary: Sending HTML for 404 is unhelpul; please send short text,
or no text, on errors
Key: HBASE-7464
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7464
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Components: REST
Reporter: Chip Salzenberg
Priority: Minor
The large HTML 404 page returned by Stargate is not helpful. The REST
interface is not intended for humans to read, esp. when the client is known to
be a program because it's asking for binary, but really any time. Nice big
readable error pages use bandwidth and clutter network traces to no purpose.
Please allow the 404 and other error pages to be configured away, or just stop
sending them (my preference). If some body must be sent, a simple text/plain
"Not found" would be fine, I think.
