["Patrick Hunt (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-386?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12705122#action_12705122 ] 

Patrick Hunt commented on ZOOKEEPER-386:
----------------------------------------

Henry, this sounds great! Thanks for the submission. However i'm afraid that neither Mahadev nor I can apply this patch. We keep getting:

patch: **** malformed patch at line 1196: Index: build.xml

I tried editing the patch file a bit, but for some reason it won't patch even though it looks fine.

Could you use SVN to re-create the patch? ie "svn diff" and resubmit?

--------
Also, a few items I noticed:

1) please name the patch after the JIRA - ZOOKEEPER-386.patch in this case:
http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/ZooKeeper/HowToContribute

2) zkCli.sh in bin directory should be updated to include the new jar on the classpath

3) is there some way (introspection?) we can support a shell that uses jline if the jar
is available, however drops back to non-jline if the jar is not available?
----

Thanks for the submission, look forward to getting this one in.

> ------------------------------------------------------------
> Possible improvements:
> Default host list to localhost:2181 when not given.
> Don't print a ton of debug, it looks like both cli_mt and zkCli.sh does this. Make a simple ls that lists subnodes one line at a time and a simple cat that lists only the node content, simple put etc.
> Shell with gnu readline capabilities and tab completion on node names would be a big improvement of usability during testing and debugging.
