Jesse Yates commented on HBASE-5548:
------------------------------------
bq. You are doing call by String methodname. It makes it all a bit more brittle
Indeed, but its how we do everything else in the shell, so I didn't think it
would be so bad.
bq. Whats an exception look like if you pass an unknown 'command'. Is it
intelligible?
Ends up spitting out this:
{code}
NoMethodError: undefined method `new' for nil:NilClass
{code}
So not really - I'll clean it up.
bq. Needs lots of comments explaining whats going on.
I'll work on it - anything in particular odd?

> 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.
