@ddanielr looking at the accumulo admin command usage states:
```
Usage: accumulo admin [options] [command] [command options]
Options:
-auths, --auths
the authorizations to use when reading or writing
Default: <empty string>
-c, --config-file
Read the given client config file. If omitted, the classpath will be
searched for file named accumulo-client.properties
-f, --force
force the given server to stop by removing its lock
Default: false
-h, -?, --help, -help
......
```
The usage indicates that the help flags should appear between the `admin`
and `command` values. None of the sub- commands themselves have any help flags
listed. It appears the initial code only provided a help command for the
overall admin command.
I went through each sub-command and If you execute each sub-command using
that format no errors are thrown, but rather the entire `accumulo admin` help
message is displayed.
The one exception is the `randomizeVolumes` command. This command will
throw an exception if the `-t <table>` info is not provided.
I agree that it would nice if help info would be provided if a help flag was
used anywhere on the command line, but I'm not sure if this is a bug or just a
design choice that was made. I'm not sure how to best let the user know that
the help flags should be earlier on the command line. Perhaps it should be
considered an enhancement/improvement issue instead. What are your thoughts?
