Jesse Yates commented on HBASE-5592:
------------------------------------
Oh, btw my issue with this patch is that it requires a knowledge much deeper
than previously required to get a reference to the table and breaks the current
paradigm of using the simple, one-word commands. Also, the table obtained this
way isn't going to have any of the nice formatting we are all used to (a little
superfluous, but nice smile).

> The one argument constructor to HTable was removed at some point, which means
> that you now have to pass in a Configuration to instantiate an HTable. This
> is annoying for me when I create quick scripts.
> This JIRA is a tiny patch which lets you get an HTable instance in the shell
> by doing
> {code}foo_table = @shell.hbase_table('foo').table{code}
> Basically, it is changing table to be a public member rather than a private
> one.
