Folder Paths ------------ Key: HADOOP-7203 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7203 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Bug Components: build Affects Versions: 0.21.0 Environment: Mac OS X (but the same effect in linux)
$java -version java version "1.6.0_24" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_24-b07-334-10M3326) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 19.1-b02-334, mixed mode) Reporter: Anastasis Andronidis Priority: Minor I tried to execute: ./bin/hadoop namenode -format in hadoop-0.21.0 inside a folder with path: ~/Desktop/my test/hadoop-0.21.0/ But i kept receiving the following error: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: test/hadoop-0/21/0/bin////logs Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: me.hadoop-0.21.0.bin....logs at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:202) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:190) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:307) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:301) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:248) Tried to change the language just to test what would happen. So I got a same error with a folder name with spaces: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: ?????? Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: ?????? at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:202) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:190) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:307) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:301) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:248) (You can notice the ???, might this be a java issue?) I was able to run it only in folder names that didn't include spaces. Both english and greek. I tried to trace this issue and I found that the problem is in the HADOOP_HOME/hdfs script. On the last line where: exec "$JAVA" $JAVA_HEAP_MAX $HADOOP_OPTS $CLASS "$@" tries to be executed, variable HADOOP_OPTS has white spaces which produce the above errors. A solution to this problem could be to include double quotes to each path when they are collected and call exec command with eval at the front. I found a workaround to this issue by adding: tmp=`echo ${HADOOP_OPTS// /\\\ }` eval exec "$JAVA" $JAVA_HEAP_MAX $(echo ${tmp//\\ \-/\ \-}) " " $CLASS "$@" This code basically it added backslashes in front of each space in a path. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
