Billie Rinaldi commented on ACCUMULO-589:
-----------------------------------------
How do people feel about stability of shell command usage? I am trying to
decide what to do about this bug. The problem is that config used the presence
of the -t tableName flag to determine whether to use a table context or a
system context. Thus, config could not be made consistent with the other
commands in terms of sensing the current table context and using that. What I
would really like to do is change config to use the new -a (-add) | -d
(-delete) | -l (-list) set of flags (see the new ConstraintCommand), and then
have -t <tableName> | -s (-system) flags to indicate the context (as grant and
revoke do). This sounds like it could make users unhappy, however. I'll call
this -a | -d | -l style of command an ADL command. I hope to transition more
of the commands to ADL options, anyway.
Another option for config would be to only allow the user to set system
properties when outside of a table context. This would still change the
behavior, but less radically. A third option would be to revert to the old
config, deprecate it, and create a new ADL command with a different name.
