Kevin Faro commented on ACCUMULO-650:
-------------------------------------
So far I have added a desc command to the shell to display the descriptions,
added a flag to tables to display the tables and the descriptions, added a flag
to createtable to set the description.
the desc command will either display the description for the table or it will
update it using a flag.
EX:
{noformat}
user@instance table> desc
table [description of table]
user@instance table> desc -u 'new description'
table [new description]
{noformat}
Should I add the ability to set the description when importing a table or a
directory? Also, should I clone the description of the table when the table is
cloned?
