Istvan Toth created HBASE-26511:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: hbase shell config override option does not work
                 Key: HBASE-26511
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26511
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: shell
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0-alpha-2
            Reporter: Istvan Toth


According to the docs, we should be able to specify properties on the command line with the -D switch.

https://hbase.apache.org/book.html#_overriding_configuration_starting_the_hbase_shell

However:

{noformat}
./bin/hbase shell -Dhbase.zookeeper.quorum=ZK0.remote.cluster.example.org,ZK1.remote.cluster.example.org,ZK2.remote.cluster.example.org -Draining=false

Usage: shell [OPTIONS] [SCRIPTFILE [ARGUMENTS]]

 -d | --debug            Set DEBUG log levels.
 -h | --help             This help.
 -n | --noninteractive   Do not run within an IRB session and exit with non-zero
                         status on first error.
 --top-level-defs        Compatibility flag to export HBase shell commands onto
                         Ruby's main object
 -Dkey=value             Pass hbase-*.xml Configuration overrides. For example, to
                         use an alternate zookeeper ensemble, pass:
                           -Dhbase.zookeeper.quorum=zookeeper.example.org
                         For faster fail, pass the below and vary the values:
                           -Dhbase.client.retries.number=7
                           -Dhbase.ipc.client.connect.max.retries=3
classpath:/jar-bootstrap.rb: invalid option -- b
GetoptLong::InvalidOption: invalid option -- b
  set_error at uri:classloader:/META-INF/jruby.home/lib/ruby/stdlib/getoptlong.rb:395
        get at uri:classloader:/META-INF/jruby.home/lib/ruby/stdlib/getoptlong.rb:572
       each at uri:classloader:/META-INF/jruby.home/lib/ruby/stdlib/getoptlong.rb:603
       loop at org/jruby/RubyKernel.java:1442
       each at uri:classloader:/META-INF/jruby.home/lib/ruby/stdlib/getoptlong.rb:602
     <main> at classpath:/jar-bootstrap.rb:98
{noformat}

Something is broken in the command line parsing.
