Sean Busbey commented on HBASE-20276:
-------------------------------------
[I put up a DISCUSS thread pointing folks over
here|https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/23cf8f132b0b87d34f14c5c7dee2a8458ce89af69e3bf0e9fda9e61a@%3Cdev.hbase.apache.org%3E].
I think we already have enough consensus to get a patch up for 1.5+ I'm happy
to either get the patch together or review. I'll do the former after I wrap up
some other stuff, or the latter if someone else has time to do it sooner.
FWIW, I think we should keep the --return-values flag because it's been in a
release. we should just have it print a message about how the change to not
return values has been removed.

> Shell:
> HBASE-19770. There was another issue opened where this was identified as a
> problem so maybe the shape will change further, but I can't find it now.

> New commentary from [~busbey]:
> This was a follow on to HBASE-15965. That change effectively makes it so none
> of our ruby wrappers can be used to build expressions in an interactive REPL.
> This is a pretty severe change (most of my tips on HBASE-15611 will break, I
> think).
> I think we should
> a) Have a DISCUSS thread, spanning dev@ and user@
> b) based on the outcome of that thread, either default to the new behavior or
> the old behavior
> c) if we keep the HBASE-15965 behavior as the default, flag it as
> incompatible, call it out in the hbase 2.0 upgrade section, and update docs
> (two examples: the output in the shell_exercises sections would be wrong, and
> the _table_variables section won't work)
> d) In either case document the new flag in the ref guide
