URL: https://github.com/apache/accumulo/issues/6086

   Compared to the output of `./accumulo` and `./accumulo-util`, the output of 
the the `admin` and `ec-admin` commands are much harder to read. I think there 
are several reasons:
   
     1. In the `./accumulo` and `./accumulo-util` output contains two columns 
that contain the command and a description with a longer line length
     2. In the case of  other `./accumulo` commands, the options are not 
displayed unless you add the `--help` argument. When invoking `admin` or 
`ec-admin` everything is dumped to the screen when you run `./accumulo admin 
--help`. It would be more consistent to only show the options when the user 
runs something like `./accumulo admin changeSecret --help`
   
   Additionally, the command names are camel case vs hypen-separated. For 
example, the non-admin commands are in the form of `./accumulo rfile-info`, but 
the `admin` and `ec-admin` commands are of the form `./accumulo admin stopAll` 
instead of `./accumulo admin stop-all`.
