> Granted, this does tell me what I need to do, but should the usage still
be printed? Is the lack of configuration an extraordinary case in which the
normal usage shouldn't be printed?
The `bin/accumulo` usage is generated and printed by the Java class
`org.apache.accumulo.start.Main`. In the current form of `bin/accumulo`, you
cannot run Java without having `accumulo-env.sh` created (as its need to build
the classpath). It might be possible to modify the `bin/accumulo` to call the
`Main` class with the environment set up by `accumulo-env.sh`.
