Alex Newman reassigned HBASE-5534: ---------------------------------- Assignee: (was: Alex Newman) > HBase shell's return value is almost always 0 > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-5534 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5534 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Alex Newman > > So I was trying to write some simple scripts to verify client connections to > HBase using the shell and I noticed that the HBase shell always returns 0 > even when it can't connect to an HBase server. I'm not sure if this is the > best option. What would be neat is if you had some capability to run commands > like > hbase shell --command='disable table;\ndrop table;' and it would error out if > any of the commands fail to succeed. echo "disable table" | hbase shell could > continue to work as it does now. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
