------------------------------------
[~ndimiduk] I was exploring the code-base for the making required changes, And
I have a question related to the overall scope of this JIRA.
As part of this JIRA, Do I just need to add help for the _magic commands_, Or I
need to also move the actual implementation of these _magic commands_ to the
newly created classes?
Like _debug_ is a flag currently defined in
[hirb.rb|https://github.com/apache/hbase/blob/master/bin/hirb.rb#L172], So do I
also need to refactor the implementation, So as to define similar behaviour in
the new _debug.rb_ that I will create as part of this work?
Please do not mind, If this is a novice question. I am just starting my journey
of HBase project contribution :)
> Add help output for shell "magic" commands
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-24921
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-24921
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: shell
> Reporter: Nick Dimiduk
> Assignee: Abhey Rana
> Priority: Major
>
> The shell has a handful of "magic" commands, things like {{help}} andÂ
> {{debug}}, that exist as commands in the shell, but are not implementations
> of the command class and have no help documentation of their own.
> Let's promote them to proper commands, add a new command group, call it
> "shell command group", for example. This makes them discoverable. Give each
> of them a help documentation string with examples, as we have for the others,
> i.e., {{help 'help'}}.
