Passing shell commands as an argument -------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-5842 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5842 Project: HBase Issue Type: Improvement Components: shell Affects Versions: 0.94.0 Reporter: Harsh J Priority: Minor Many times we've required scans of .META. to analyze issues with the cluster we work on, and to have the result in a file we can pass around we usually end up doing something like: {{echo "scan '.META.'| hbase shell > meta-scan.txt}} This can rather be simplified as something like the following instead, with support for a commands reading argument: {{hbase shell -c "scan '.META.'"}} [Note though: File reading is possible already, i.e. {{hbase shell file.hs}}, but then thats two steps and we usually don't keep a file around for just a meta table scan.] -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
