**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.** Original Jira ticket: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-2929 Excerpt from ticket: ``` For commands that have a -c option (e.g. InsertCommand, GrepCommand, ScanCommand), there is currently no way to specify a column family that contains a colon as it is interpreted as the delimiter between the column family and column qualifier 'cf[:cq]'. It would be very simple to support a basic escape '\' character that would allow users to use column families which contain colons in the shell. ``` **Describe the solution you'd like** It would be a useful feature to allow escaping of special characters, specifically a ' : ' in this instance. Alternatively, extra options such as -cf and -cq could be added instead. **Additional context** The specific function inside `ScanCommand` (utilized by `GrepCommand` and others) that fetches the Columns. https://github.com/apache/accumulo/blob/3da639ac6c49ad1b9671230e3443632d27887f75/shell/src/main/java/org/apache/accumulo/shell/commands/ScanCommand.java#L274-L275 -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
