----------------------------------------------------------------------
Patch [^ACCUMULO-1412-v1.patch] depends on the v3 patch from ACCUMULO-1478,
applies to trunk with {{-p1}}.
This patch allows users to specify the value to {{--password}} as any of the
following:
* pass:<password>
* file:<local file>
* env:<environment variable>
* stdin
The design is extensible for future implementations, as I know [~ctubbsii] had
expressed an interest in wiring it to gnome-keyring.

> OpenSSL allows the user to read the password from a number of places,
> including a file, environment variable, file descriptor, command line
> argument, or standard in. It would be nice for accumulo to do the same, to
> ease scripting while still not revealing password through {{ps}} or it's
> brethren.
> A logical way to implement this might be using a [JCommander Custom
> Type|http://jcommander.org/#Custom_types] for the password field.
