Heya, I'd like to get a little discussion going about this before anything gets merged. I posted up a simple patch via HBASE-25841. All it does is add an `hbase jshell` command to our bash script. I added this because I had an itch that was well satisfied by the feature. Easy access to a bare jshell seems like more of a developer feature than an operator feature, for instance. As it is, it is in no way a replacement for our JIRB shell -- I wonder if users will expect it to be, and thus be disappointed when it's not.
Is this a good feature to put in front of users? Should we do more with it before putting it in front of users? Thanks, Nick
