Command line switch to specify the HBaseMaster to connect to
------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-2855
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2855
Project: HBase
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: shell
Reporter: fnord 999
Priority: Minor
The HBase Shell wiki page http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hbase/Shell states that
there is a command line switch {{--master=MASTER}} to specify a remote hbase
master to connect to. This command line option does, however, not exist.
Instead, in order to connect to a remote cluster, the user has to overwrite the
shell variable {{$HBASE_CONFIG_DIR}} with the path to the remote cluster's
configuration files that have to be locally available.
A command line switch would be better suited for this, since the user/developer
then would not have to write a XML config script.
