Christopher Tubbs commented on ACCUMULO-4026: --------------------------------------------- We can merge the PR for this issue, and I've created a subtask to make it more tolerant. > Setting ACCUMULO_CLIENT_CONF_PATH with no client.conf file present throws > ConfigurationException > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > 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() -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
