stack commented on HADOOP-2047:
-------------------------------
Your understanding above is correct.
The '--master=MASTERHOST:PORT' makes it so you can have the shell connect to a
cluster w/o having to edit conf files; not that important but would be a nice
to have. The --html is even less important but specifies that the output be in
(x)html (See the mysql command. It takes formatting args including no
formatting).
Take a look at Tool, ToolRunner and GenericOptionsParser in hadoop. You might
want to have Shell implement Tool so you get your command-line processing done
for you. You be the judge of whether its a good idea or not (On the one hand,
you don't have to do anything and you get specification of alternate conf file
and handlign of -D for free but on the other, the '-jt' and '-fs' are
inapplicable in your context).

> Add to hbase shell command-line processing. At a minimum should be able to
> pass the master you want the shell to go against. Currently you need to edit
> the hbase-site.xml that is under the shell. Also, add an '--html' to output
> resultsets in html rather than as ascii tables (The html output is xhtml
> which might be sufficent for those who might want resultsets as xml -- lets
> see).
