G G created HBASE-10381: --------------------------- Summary: HBase shell scripts do not handle whitespaces in path names Key: HBASE-10381 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-10381 Project: HBase Issue Type: Bug Components: scripts Affects Versions: 0.96.0 Environment: Windows, Linux Reporter: G G
When setting one of the HBASE_CONF_DIR, HBASE_LOG_DIR, or HBASE_CLASSPATH environment variables to a directory containing a whitespace, the Linux shell scripts to start/stop hbase daemons (bin/start-hbase.sh) resp. the scripts it calls stop working. I tried to create a patch for this but unfortunately my shell-script knowledge does not suffice. In some lines, escaping the used environment variables seems to do the trick but I was not able to fix the code that builds the command line in bin/hbase which looks like this: {noformat} HBASE_OPTS="$HBASE_OPTS -Dhbase.log.dir=$HBASE_LOG_DIR" ... {noformat} If HBASE_LOG_DIR is e.g. "/tmp/foo bar" then HBASE_OPTS becomes "... -Dhbase.log.dir=/tmp/foo bar" and when java is started it interprets bar as the main-class argument. On Windows, HBase would not start unless I escaped the HBASE_CONF_DIR environment variable using double quotes. If anyone has an idea on how to fix this, I could try to build a patch. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160)
