stack commented on HBASE-10653:
-------------------------------

This is a pain.  The formatter is a poor imitation of 'real' terminal sql 
clients (IIRC, I did first version -- hence 'poor').  Pity we couldn't use 
something like sqlline.  Other quality text-based console implementations that 
I found back then when messing with this had incompatible licenses.

The patch is a little orthodox compared to how we format other stuff in shell 
but this case is awkward with wide description and narrow enabled.

Is it possible to say hbase> describe "tableA", "tableB"

... i.e. get the output of multiple tables at once?  If so, this patch won't 
work for that case.  Otherwise, this patch might be a decent enough compromise 
for now ... till we have a redo of the shell.
