[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-8798) Fix a minor bug in shell command with clone_snapshot table error

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8798?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13697010#comment-13697010 ] 

Jerry He commented on HBASE-8798:
---------------------------------

Here is the output after the fix.

hbase(main):001:0> list
TABLE
TestTable
1 row(s) in 1.1350 seconds

=> ["TestTable"]
hbase(main):002:0> list_snapshots
SNAPSHOT                        TABLE + CREATION TIME
 mysnapshot1                    TestTable (Mon Jun 24 13:29:00 -0700 2013)
1 row(s) in 0.2040 seconds

=> ["mysnapshot1"]
hbase(main):003:0> clone_snapshot 'mysnapshot1', 'TestTable'

ERROR: Table already exists: *TestTable!*

Here is some help for this command:
Create a new table by cloning the snapshot content.
There're no copies of data involved.
And writing on the newly created table will not influence the snapshot data.

Examples:
  hbase> clone_snapshot 'snapshotName', 'tableName'

> In HBase shell, the syntax for clone_snapshot is:
>   hbase> clone_snapshot 'snapshotName', 'tableName'
> If the target table already exists, we'll get an error.
> For example:
> ------------------
> hbase(main):011:0> clone_snapshot 'mysnapshot1', 'TestTable'
> ERROR: Table already exists: mysnapshot1!
> Here is some help for this command:
> Create a new table by cloning the snapshot content.
> There're no copies of data involved.
> And writing on the newly created table will not influence the snapshot data.
> Examples:
>   hbase> clone_snapshot 'snapshotName', 'tableName'
> ----------------------
> The bug is in the ERROR message:
> *ERROR: Table already exists: mysnapshot1!*
> We should output the table name, not the snapshot name.
> Currently, in command.rb, we have the output fixed as args.first for TableExistsException:
> {code}
>       def translate_hbase_exceptions(*args)
>         yield
>       rescue org.apache.hadoop.hbase.exceptions.TableNotFoundException
>         raise "Unknown table #{args.first}!"
>       rescue org.apache.hadoop.hbase.exceptions.NoSuchColumnFamilyException
>         valid_cols = table(args.first).get_all_columns.map { |c| c + '*' }
>         raise "Unknown column family! Valid column names: #{valid_cols.join(", ")}"
>       rescue org.apache.hadoop.hbase.exceptions.TableExistsException
>         raise "Table already exists: #{args.first}!"
>       end
> {code}
> This is fine with commands like 'create tableName ...' but not 'clone_snapshot snapshotName tableName'.
