["Mike Drob (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1706?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Mike Drob updated ACCUMULO-1706:
--------------------------------

    Attachment: 0001-ACCUMULO-1706-check-for-error-on-sysout.patch

This patch illustrates places where a user may pipe the output to something like {{head}} or {{less}}. If other people have utilities that they use and would like better behaviour from, leave a comment. Otherwise, these are my main two, and I don't even know everything else that is out there.

> Many of the admin utilities can potentially print a lot of output, but don't play nice with standard unix utilities like {{head}}. These tools should periodically check if the stdout pipe has been closed, and terminate appropriately, instead of continuing to execute and printing output that nobody will ever see.
> This check can be done using {{System.out.checkError()}}.
