[jira] [Updated] (HBASE-7464) [REST] Sending HTML for 404 is unhelpful

["Andrew Purtell (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7464?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Andrew Purtell updated HBASE-7464:
----------------------------------

    Attachment: HBASE-7464-trunk-v2.patch
                HBASE-7464-0.94-v2.patch

v2 patch removes all throws of WebApplicationException, adds a CRLF on the end of the returned status text (useful if debugging with curl), and catches a case where if a table is missing an internal status error is returned incorrectly instead of a 404.

> The large HTML 404 page returned by Stargate is not helpful.  The REST interface is not intended for humans to read, esp. when the client is known to be a program because it's asking for binary, but really any time.  Nice big readable error pages use bandwidth and clutter network traces to no purpose.
> Please allow the 404 and other error pages to be configured away, or just stop sending them (my preference).  If some body must be sent, a simple text/plain "Not found" would be fine, I think.
