stack commented on HBASE-3238: ------------------------------ Hey honey. Is there a create that works even if node already exists? What is this '+ * @param str String to amend. -1' When you say above that it limits to write under /hbase, you don't mean exactly /hbase, you mean whatever is configured as cluster home in zk? > HBase needs to have the CREATE permission on the parent of its ZooKeeper > parent znode > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-3238 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3238 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.90.0 > Reporter: Mathias Herberts > Assignee: Alex Newman > Priority: Blocker > Attachments: 1, HBASE-3238.patch > > > Upon startup, HBase attempts to create its zookeeper.parent.znode in > ZooKeeper, it does so using ZKUtil.createAndFailSilent which as its name > seems to imply will fail silent if the znode exists. But if HBase does not > have the CREATE permission on its zookeeper.parent.znode parent znode then > the create attempt will fail with a > org.apache.zookeeper.KeeperException$NoAuthException and will terminate the > process. > In a production environment where ZooKeeper has a managed namespace it is not > possible to give HBase CREATE permission on the parent of its parent znode. > ZKUtil.createAndFailSilent should therefore be modified to check that the > znode exists using ZooKeeper.exist prior to attempting to create it. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
