Josh Elser commented on HBASE-19770:
------------------------------------
{quote}without --return-values you can't use get_table command to assign the
table to a variable
{quote}
Eek. That's a bad one. Let me open up another issue and flip the default
instead of mulling it over more.
> Add '--return-values' option to Shell to print return values of commands in
