Alex Newman resolved HBASE-5534.
--------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
> HBase shell's return value is almost always 0
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-5534
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5534
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: shell
> Reporter: Alex Newman
>
> So I was trying to write some simple scripts to verify client connections to
> HBase using the shell and I noticed that the HBase shell always returns 0
> even when it can't connect to an HBase server. I'm not sure if this is the
> best option. What would be neat is if you had some capability to run commands
> like
> hbase shell --command='disable table;\ndrop table;' and it would error out if
> any of the commands fail to succeed. echo "disable table" | hbase shell could
> continue to work as it does now.
