Shell reads from stdin and writes to stdout
-------------------------------------------

                 Key: HBASE-447
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-447
             Project: Hadoop HBase
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: hql
            Reporter: Bryan Duxbury
            Priority: Trivial


Instead of HBASE-39, which would give you the ability to store queries in a 
file and execute them from the shell, we should give the shell the ability to 
read queries from standard input, execute the query, and then write the output 
to standard output. 

The advantage of this approach is that in addition to being able to store 
queries in files, you can also script against the shell. This might mean schema 
creation during an installation wizard, or a shell script that queries a small 
number of rows, or whatever you can think of.
