Bill Havanki reassigned ACCUMULO-1556: -------------------------------------- Assignee: Bill Havanki > Initialize could use a better warning when HDFS dir is already populated > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: ACCUMULO-1556 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1556 > Project: Accumulo > Issue Type: Bug > Components: client > Affects Versions: 1.5.0 > Reporter: Miguel Pereira > Assignee: Bill Havanki > Priority: Minor > > When attempting to initialize Accumulo and the instance.dfs.dir is pointing > at a directory in HDFS which has already been initialized, you get a very > undescriptive warning message which doesn't actually say refer to the fact > that this is an HDFS directory. > {noformat} > [util.Initialize] FATAL: It appears this location was previously initialized, > exiting ... > {noformat} > It would be better to be explicit and tell the user that their > $instance.dfs.dir value already has been initialized in HDFS instead of > leaving that up to the user to discern. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1#6144)
