Add ability to get a table in the shell
---------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-5548
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5548
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: shell
Reporter: Jesse Yates
Fix For: 0.96.0
Currently, all the commands that operate on a table in the shell first have to
take the table as name as input.
There are two main considerations:
* It is annoying to have to write the table name every time, when you should
just be able to get a reference to a table
* the current implementation is very wasteful - it creates a new HTable for
each call (but reuses the connection since it uses the same configuration)
We should be able to get a handle to a single HTable and then operate on that.
