Harsh J resolved HBASE-5842. ---------------------------- Resolution: Later [~busbey] - It partially improves the first form, but I still feel a {{-c}} option may be preferable, no? That said I've not seen need for scanning meta lately (HBase has improved a lot!) so I'll resolve this one as 'Later' as there's no demand on this. I cannot also think of many other reasons one would need to be piping to the current shell instead of using the file option (if at all). > Passing shell commands as an argument > ------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-5842 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5842 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: shell > Affects Versions: 0.94.0 > Reporter: Harsh J > Priority: Minor > > Many times we've required scans of .META. to analyze issues with the cluster > we work on, and to have the result in a file we can pass around we usually > end up doing something like: > {{echo "scan '.META.'| hbase shell > meta-scan.txt}} > This can rather be simplified as something like the following instead, with > support for a commands reading argument: > {{hbase shell -c "scan '.META.'"}} > [Note though: File reading is possible already, i.e. {{hbase shell file.hs}}, > but then thats two steps and we usually don't keep a file around for just a > meta table scan.] -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
