Jesse Yates commented on HBASE-18842: ------------------------------------- Any chance for a patch [~ThorGutierrez]? Looks like we could do a light hack where commands could optionally handle exceptions to generate custom ruby exceptions. > The hbase shell clone_snaphost command returns bad error message > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-18842 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-18842 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Thoralf Gutierrez > Priority: Minor > > When you call the hbase shell clone_snapshot command with a target namespace > that doesn't exist, you get an error message, but the variable used to > identify the inexistent namespace is wrong: > {noformat} > hbase(main):001:0> clone_snapshot 'someSnapshotName', > 'someNamespaceName:someTableName' > ERROR: Unknown namespace someSnapshotName! > Create a new table by cloning the snapshot content. > There're no copies of data involved. > And writing on the newly created table will not influence the snapshot data. > Examples: > hbase> clone_snapshot 'snapshotName', 'tableName' > hbase> clone_snapshot 'snapshotName', 'namespace:tableName' > {noformat} > It should rather say: > {noformat} > ERROR: Unknown namespace someNamespaceName! > {noformat} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
