Sean Busbey commented on HBASE-16196:
-------------------------------------
I dunno. I used to hold that position, but then essentially [no one on
users@hbase had feedback on changing from Ruby 1.8|https://s.apache.org/DXQK].
After that I had much less concern that folks were building on top of the shell.
> 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 Ruby 1.8.7 is no longer maintained.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.
