SHORT Cloudera has broken zookeeper 3.4.5-cdh5.4.0 in several places. Service is working but CLI is dead. No workaround other than rollback. LONG Assign a bounty on this ;-). I have stepped on this mine too and was angry enough to find the reason: Zookeeper checks JLine during ZooKeeperMain.run(). There is a try-catch block that loads a number of classes. Any exception during class loading fails the whole block and JLine support is reported to be disabled. But here is why this happens with CDH 5.4.0: Current opensource Zookeeper-3.4.6 works against jline-0.9.94. Has no such issue. In CDH 5.4 Cloudera has applied the following patch: roman@node4:$ diff zookeeper-3.4.5-cdh5.3.3/src/java/main/org/apache/zookeeper/ZooKeeperMain.java zookeeper-3.4.5-cdh5.4.0/src/java/main/org/apache/zookeeper/ZooKeeperMain.java

CDH 5.4 uses jline-2.11.jar for ZooKeeper and it has no jline.ConsoleReader class (from 2.11 it is jline.console.ConsoleReader). Jline 0.9.94 in turn has no jline.console.completer.Completer. So there is incompatibility with any existing JLine. Any Cloudera CDH 5.4 user can run zookeeper-client on his/her cluster and find it does not work. Open-source zookeeper-3.4.6 depends on jline-0.9.94 which has no such patches. Don't know why Cloudera engineers have done such a mine. I see no clean way to fix it with 3.4.5-cdh5.4.0. I stayed with 3.4.5-cdh5.3.3 dependency where I need CLI and have production clusters. It seemed to me both jline-0.9.94.jar and jline.2.11.jar in classpath for zookeeper will fix the problem. But just have found Cloudera made another 'fix' in ZK for CDH 5.4.0, they have renamed org.apache.zookeeper.JLineZNodeCompletor class to org.apache.zookeeper.JLineZNodeCompleter. But here is the code from ZooKeeperMain.java Class<?> completorC = Class.forName("org.apache.zookeeper.JLineZNodeCompletor"); And of course, it means practically it is not possible to start ZK CLI in CDH 5.4.0 proper way. Awful work. 😞
