HBase shell's return value is almost always 0
---------------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-5534
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5534
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Alex Newman
Assignee: Alex Newman
So I was trying to write some simple scripts to verify client connections to
HBase using the shell and I noticed that the HBase shell always returns 0 even
when it can't connect to an HBase server. I'm not sure if this is the best
option. What would be neat is if you had some capability to run commands like
hbase shell --command='disable table;\ndrop table;' and it would error out if
any of the commands fail to succeed. echo "disable table" | hbase shell could
continue to work as it does now.
