Jesse Yates commented on HBASE-5548:
------------------------------------
bq. Seems like an issue?
yeah, I think so. Odd that I missed that, though I may have made some changes
and not done all the testing I should have. I'll take a look.
bq. Also in the help, talks about a table reference without explaining what it
is (there is no mention of what this is in the general help either it seems).
It could be confusing talking about a 't' w/o saying where it came from?
Yeah, that can be confusing. I'll clean it up a bit.
bq. In the rest of the shell columns are a combo of family and qualifier
delimited by the ':'. You are changing that w/ the above.
Fair enough, though I would argue this is cleaner, but I switch it over for
this patch.
Thanks for giving it a spin stack!

> 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.
