Improve shell help to reflect all possible options
--------------------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-3539
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3539
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Components: shell
Affects Versions: 0.90.0
Reporter: Lars George
Priority: Trivial
Fix For: 0.92.0
The shell is not consistent in its help texts. For example:
{code}
Scan a table; pass table name and optionally a dictionary of scanner
specifications. Scanner specifications may include one or more of
the following: LIMIT, STARTROW, STOPROW, TIMESTAMP, or COLUMNS. If
no columns are specified, all columns will be scanned.
{code}
but in the code you have
{code}
filter = args["FILTER"]
startrow = args["STARTROW"] || ''
stoprow = args["STOPROW"]
timestamp = args["TIMESTAMP"]
columns = args["COLUMNS"] || args["COLUMN"] || get_all_columns
cache = args["CACHE_BLOCKS"] || true
versions = args["VERSIONS"] || 1
{code}
VERSIONS is missing from the help.
Check all commands and make sure all options are stated and examples given.
