[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-18462) HBase server fails to start when rootdir contains spaces

["Zach York (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-18462?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16113022#comment-16113022 ] 

Zach York commented on HBASE-18462:
-----------------------------------

So there are some issues here. As you can see from the stack trace below it is Hadoop FileSystem that actually throws this (by calling URI). So if we handle this as you suggest by encoding the space as %20 in HBase this will work for some cases. However, what if you create a directory that actually contains the space character (for example, you can do this on S3)? Then HBase will create a root directory with %20 instead of the correct space character. This will be confusing to users in my opinion.

> As part of the tests for the HBase connector for Beam I discovered that when you start an HBase server instance from a directory that contains spaces (rootdir) it does not start correctly. This happens both with the HBaseTestingUtility server and with the binary distribution too.
