surendra singh lilhore commented on HDFS-7805: ---------------------------------------------- Thanks [~cmccabe] for comment You are right, all log should be in log file only. But I want to print only prompt message where we will wait for user input For example we are doing in {{ToolRunner.confirmPrompt()}}. {code} while (true) { System.err.print(prompt + " (Y or N) "); StringBuilder responseBuilder = new StringBuilder(); while (true) { int c = System.in.read(); if (c == -1 || c == '\r' || c == '\n') { break; } responseBuilder.append((char)c); } {code} here we are waiting for user input using {{System.in.read()}} If prompt message not printed one console then user not knows what input he needs to give. Same I want for {{MetaRecoveryContext.ask()}} prompt message. Please give your suggestion. Thanks in advance for your suggestions. > NameNode recovery prompt should be printed on console > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-7805 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-7805 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Components: namenode > Affects Versions: 2.6.0 > Reporter: surendra singh lilhore > Assignee: surendra singh lilhore > Attachments: HDFS-7805.patch > > > In my cluster root logger is not console, so when I run namenode recovery > tool MetaRecoveryContext.java prompt message is logged in log file. > Actually is should be display on console. > Currently it is like this > {code} > LOG.info(prompt); > {code} > It should be > {code} > System.err.print(prompt); > {code} > NameNode recovery prompt should be printed on console -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
