How to stop a command running in an hbase shell rather than exit a hbase shell

Question

In some cases, I want to exit my running command in the HBase shell, for example, scan statements usually take too much time.

So, I want to stop this command, but I do not need to exit the HBase shell.

The usual way to stop the execution of a command, I used Ctrl + C, which can stop the running command, but also exit the HBase shell, then I need more time to restart the HBase shell.

Is there a better solution to this?

Answer 1

ctrl + s pauses the screen (console), ctrl + q returns it, it can be used to control the output to the console of any application (for example, cat longfile.txt, etc.), and not just the hbase shell.

Another alternative is to use ctrl + z , which pauses the current task in the foreground, the impact will be a paused screen. To resume a paused task, simply press fg to bring it back to the foreground.

Just use the quit keyword without a semicolon.
