Jesse Yates commented on HBASE-5548:
------------------------------------
bq. I installed the patch, when I do general 'help', I see nothing on this new
facility. I probably should?
Yeah, probably :) I'll add some comments in a follow on patch.
bq. When I create a table, the output is kinda ugly? I suppose no way around
it.... its not end of world.
You can by appending a ';' to the end of the line. But then you don't know if
the operation is successful or not, as it suppresses all output. I tried a
bunch of tricks to not show all that stuff, but nothing seemed to work. We can
add a comment to the above effect in the guide.
bq. If I do t.put, w/ wrong args it gives me the help but its general help
rather than help for my table context
Yeah, that is the general put help. I'm thinking it might be nice to add in
some help specific to a table command more dynamically. I'll look into it.
thanks for the review stack! I'll get up a new patch and also throw it on RB
(with associated release note) so others can take a look-see before rolling in
the patch.

> 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.
