Bryan Duxbury commented on HBASE-67:
------------------------------------
Is there a reason why the output of HELP is in tabular form? It would make it
much easier to read if it used all the white space it could. I often have
windows wider than 80 characters, and the MySQL command line client takes
advantage of this.
