Gavin updated HBASE-18125: -------------------------- Comment: was deleted (was: A comment with security level 'jira-users' was removed.) > HBase shell disregards spaces at the end of a split key in a split file > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-18125 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-18125 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Components: shell > Affects Versions: 1.3.1, 2.0.0 > Reporter: Ashu Pachauri > Assignee: Chenxi Tong > Priority: Major > Labels: beginner > Fix For: 1.4.0, 1.3.2, 1.2.7, 1.1.13, 2.0.0 > > Attachments: HBASE-18125.patch > > > When converting row keys to a printable string representation, Bytes class > considers SPACE as a printable character, so it prints it out as it is. So, > it's quite possible that a row key has a space at the end. > When specifying split points in a file, the row keys are not quoted and the > shell wrapper "admin.rb" strips any whitespace off the row keys: > {code} > File.foreach(splits_file) do |line| > arg[SPLITS].push(line.strip()) > end > {code} > The correct approach is to use "chomp()" instead of "strip()" to just strip > off carriage returns and newlines. We should assume that the hbase user is > either using split points printed out by hbase itself (which will not have > tabs) or is diligent enough to not use tabs at the end of a split point. > What's worse is that it goes undetected and will result in undesirable split > points. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
