------------------------------------

             Summary: Shell does not fall back to accumulo-site.xml when on classpath
                 Key: ACCUMULO-4600
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-4600
             Project: Accumulo
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: shell
    Affects Versions: 1.7.3
            Reporter: Josh Elser
            Priority: Critical


When inspecting 1.7.3-rc1 for the VOTE, I did the following steps:

* Unpack bin-tarball
* Copy 3gb native example confs
* Set {{instance.volumes}} in accumulo-site.xml
* {{export ACCUMULO_HOME="$(pwd)"}}
* {{./bin/accumulo init}}
* {{./bin/start-all.sh}}
* {{./bin/accumulo shell -u root}}

The shell failed to connect stating that no tservers were running. By turning on the debug option to the shell, I could see that the wrong HDFS directory was being used to find the Accumulo instance ID, {{/accumulo}} instead of {{/accumulo173rc1}}.

This appears to be because of {{ClientContext#convertClientConfig(Configuration)}} and  {{Shell#getZooInstance(String, String, ClientConfiguration}}. The client configuration is empty, therefore, all values end up being pulled from the {{DefaultConfiguration}} instance instead of the accumulo-site.xml which is on the classpath.
