Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-16196:
----------------------------------------
When we make this change we should first make sure it doesn't break any of our
helper scripts like region_mover.rb. I can attest at least that one is used in
HBase operations. We don't have test coverage it so it will need to be checked
by hand.
> Update jruby to a newer version.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-16196
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: dependencies, shell
> Reporter: Elliott Clark
> Assignee: Matt Mullins
> Attachments: 0001-Update-to-JRuby-9.1.2.0-and-JLine-2.12.patch,

> Ruby 1.8.7 is no longer maintained.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.
