Sean Busbey commented on HBASE-8298:
------------------------------------
Leaves describing aliases to the original command, on the presumption that in
some cases we won't want to call attention to them.
Tested by spinning up single node, trying both 'describe' and 'desc' on a table
I created.
Ran through help, help 'ddl', help 'describe', and help 'desc'. Make sure
"desc" didn't show up, save in the description of the "describe" command, but
help 'desc' still worked.
> desc <tablename> shorthand for describe <tablename>, similar to how databases
> have
