stack commented on HBASE-2855:
------------------------------

As of yesterday, you can override configs by passing a 
-Dconfig.name="config.value"... you might try specifying the zookeeper ensemble 
this way?  (--master is no longer the way to go since we added zk to them mix 
-- i changed the shell wiki page)

> Command line switch to specify the HBaseMaster to connect to

> 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.
