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

We've had times where output on the shell is changed, arguments accepted are
changed, all in minor releases.

That's true. I guess I'm just worried that this is much more likely to break a
given script built on top of the shell than an output or argument change would
be. It seems worth a user@ message to gauge impact.
> Update jruby to a newer version.

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: dependencies, shell
> Reporter: Elliott Clark

> Ruby 1.8.7 is no longer maintained.
> The TTY library in the old jruby is bad. The newer one is less bad.
> Since this is only a dependency on the hbase-shell module and not on
> hbase-client or hbase-server this should be a pretty simple thing that
> doesn't have any backwards compat issues.
