[shell] Should be able to copy-paste table description to create new table
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-894
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-894
Project: Hadoop HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: stack
I want to create a new table based off the description of an old. You'd think
I could just copy the description of the old in the shell but it doesn't work.
Our 'describe' emission cannot be used as input on a subsequent create.
Below I copied the output that describes one table and tried to create a new
table named 'x' with it:

HBase Shell; enter 'help<RETURN>' for list of supported commands.
