 Description    

mcsapikey=$(grep -r 'x-api-key' /etc/columnstore/cmapi_server.conf | cut -d= -f2 | xargs)

The cut -d= is meant to seperate the key/value to store as variable in script
This line does not handle if the x-api-key value contains an actual '=' characters and will break the commands giving 401 errors.

Command should be modified to the following

mcsapikey=$(grep -r 'x-api-key' /etc/columnstore/cmapi_server.conf | cut -d= -f2- | xargs)

Build verified: 6.2.1-1 (#2924)

Reproduced the issue in 5.6.1-1

[centos8:root~]# mcsapikey=$(grep -r 'x-api-key' /etc/columnstore/cmapi_server.conf | cut -d= -f2 | xargs)
 
xargs: unmatched single quote; by default quotes are special to xargs unless you use the -0 option

In 6.2.1-1

With a 3pm installation, manually inserted an '=' character into the x-api-key in the /etc/columnstore/cmapi_server.cnf file.

Verified:
1. columnstoreAlias script
2. execution of script
