Passing shell commands as an argument
-------------------------------------

                 Key: HBASE-5842
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5842
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: shell
    Affects Versions: 0.94.0
            Reporter: Harsh J
            Priority: Minor


Many times we've required scans of .META. to analyze issues with the cluster we 
work on, and to have the result in a file we can pass around we usually end up 
doing something like:

{{echo "scan '.META.'| hbase shell > meta-scan.txt}}

This can rather be simplified as something like the following instead, with 
support for a commands reading argument:

{{hbase shell -c "scan '.META.'"}}

[Note though: File reading is possible already, i.e. {{hbase shell file.hs}}, 
but then thats two steps and we usually don't keep a file around for just a 
meta table scan.]
