FsShell should dump all exceptions at DEBUG level -------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-7114 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7114 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Improvement Components: fs Affects Versions: 0.23.0 Reporter: Todd Lipcon Assignee: Todd Lipcon Priority: Minor Most of the FsShell commands catch exceptions and then just print out an error like "foo: " + e.getLocalizedMessage(). This is fine when the exception is "user-facing" (eg permissions errors) but in the case of a user hitting a bug you get a useless error message with no stack trace. For example, something "chmod: null" in the case of a NullPointerException bug. It would help debug these cases for users and developers if we also logged the exception with full trace at DEBUG level. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
