-------------------------------------

Since these changes are only in master and branch-1, i think it keeps our
operational compat promise. stack, you still think we should change the format
back? Or does the below plan sounds good?

If the shell output changes are just in master and branch-1, then yeah I agree
we're fine on compatibility. So the fix here would be to just update how we
parse the output?

> In some of our bash scripts we are piping command in hbase shell and then
> parsing response to define variables. Since 'hbase shell' output format is
> changed we are picking wrong values from output Here is example form
> gracful_stop.sh:
> {code}
> HBASE_BALANCER_STATE=$(echo 'balance_switch false' | "$bin"/hbase --config
> "${HBASE_CONF_DIR}" shell | tail -3 | head -1)
> {code}
> this will return "balance_switch true" instead of previous balancer state.
