Jesse Yates commented on HBASE-5548: ------------------------------------ Sooo, I guess no one has comments on it and we can roll it in? I know this isn't super crucial (likely causing the lack of reviews), but its been up for a while and would like to get it in. > 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 > Assignee: Jesse Yates > Fix For: 0.96.0, 0.94.1 > > Attachments: ruby_HBASE-5528-v0.patch, ruby_HBASE-5548-v1.patch, > ruby_HBASE-5548-v2.patch, ruby_HBASE-5548-v3.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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
