             Summary: Misconfiguration of JVM GC options in HADOOP_CLIENT_OPTS may break `bin/hbase`
                 Key: HBASE-17285
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-17285
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: scripts
            Reporter: Josh Elser
            Assignee: Josh Elser
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 2.0.0


Had the great fun of digging through this one. Had a user reporting that hiveserver2 was no longer finding HBase jars on the classpath. This is supposed to happen via {{hbase mapredcp}}.

It turned out that they had configured hive-env.sh to set {{HADOOP_CLIENT_OPTS="-XX:+PrintGCDetails"}} (among other things), which creates a big multi-line string instead of just a directory. Because of poor quoting in {{bin/hbase}}, this gives you a wonderfully intuitive error:

{noformat}
Error: Could not find or load main class Heap
{noformat}

That {{Heap}} is actually from the JVM GC details that it was told to print. While I don't expect this to be a common problem people run into, it's one that we can address with better quoting. e.g.

{noformat}
