Mike Drob commented on HBASE-16196: ----------------------------------- Downstream folks - Ruby 1.8 to Ruby 2.x is a large enough change that I'd be nervous springing it on somebody in a minor release. At least, I wouldn't want to do it without additional guarantees like HBASE-13583, but I think that one also gets easier to implement after we pick up a modern JRuby version since there were known bugs in an older jrubyc. Kind of a chicken and egg situation, where I think we want to get some burn in on new branches before taking it back to stable. > Update jruby to a newer version. > -------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-16196 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-16196 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Components: dependencies, shell > Reporter: Elliott Clark > Assignee: Mike Drob > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 2.0.0, 1.5.0 > > Attachments: 0001-Update-to-JRuby-9.1.2.0-and-JLine-2.12.patch, > hbase-16196.branch-1.patch, hbase-16196.v2.branch-1.patch, > hbase-16196.v3.branch-1.patch, hbase-16196.v4.branch-1.patch, > HBASE-16196.v5.patch, HBASE-16196.v6.patch, HBASE-16196.v7.patch, > HBASE-16196.v8.patch > > > Ruby 1.8.7 is no longer maintained. > The TTY library in the old jruby is bad. The newer one is less bad. > Since this is only a dependency on the hbase-shell module and not on > hbase-client or hbase-server this should be a pretty simple thing that > doesn't have any backwards compat issues. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
