Mike Drob commented on HBASE-16196:
-----------------------------------
Downstream folks - Ruby 1.8 to Ruby 2.x is a large enough change that I'd be
nervous springing it on somebody in a minor release. At least, I wouldn't want
to do it without additional guarantees like HBASE-13583, but I think that one
also gets easier to implement after we pick up a modern JRuby version since
there were known bugs in an older jrubyc. Kind of a chicken and egg situation,
where I think we want to get some burn in on new branches before taking it back
to stable.
> Update jruby to a newer version.

> Ruby 1.8.7 is no longer maintained.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.
