Josh Elser commented on ACCUMULO-4026:
--------------------------------------
bq. One way we can clean this up is to make it more tolerant. If it doesn't
point to a file, we can treat it like a path, and append "client.conf".

> Key: ACCUMULO-4026
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-4026
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: client, core
> Affects Versions: 1.7.0
> Reporter: Jim Klucar
> Assignee: Jim Klucar
> Priority: Trivial
> Fix For: 1.7.1, 1.8.0

> Setting the environment variable ACCUMULO_CLIENT_CONF_PATH to a directory
> that exists but does not contain a file named client.conf throws
> org.apache.commons.configuration.ConfigurationException: Cannot load a
> configuration from a directory
> To demo this, simply set ACCUMULO_CLIENT_CONF_PATH to /tmp, make sure
> client.conf doesn't exist in /tmp and try to run the accumulo shell.
> The problem is ClientConfiguration.java on line 221 checks File.canRead()
> which is true for a Directory and a File. The solution is to make the branch
> check File.isFile() && File.canRead()
