Jakub Scholz created KAFKA-5969: ----------------------------------- Summary: bin/kafka-preferred-replica-election.sh gives misleading error when invalid JSON file is passed as parameter Key: KAFKA-5969 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5969 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Bug Components: tools Reporter: Jakub Scholz
When invalid JSON file is passed to the bin/kafka-preferred-replica-election.sh / PreferredReplicaLeaderElectionCommand tool it gives a misleading error: {code} kafka.admin.AdminOperationException: Preferred replica election data is empty at kafka.admin.PreferredReplicaLeaderElectionCommand$.parsePreferredReplicaElectionData(PreferredReplicaLeaderElectionCommand.scala:97) at kafka.admin.PreferredReplicaLeaderElectionCommand$.main(PreferredReplicaLeaderElectionCommand.scala:66) at kafka.admin.PreferredReplicaLeaderElectionCommand.main(PreferredReplicaLeaderElectionCommand.scala) {code} It suggests that the data is empty instead of invalid. This can confuse people. The exception text should be fixed. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
