Peter Somogyi commented on HBASE-19770:
---------------------------------------

What we noticed with [~balazs.meszaros] is when you run the shell without 
--return-values you can't use get_table command to assign the table to a 
variable. Because of this I'd also like to use return-values as default or at 
least document it in the help message that users must use -r to call get_table.

> Add '--return-values' option to Shell to print return values of commands in 
> interactive mode

> The {{list}} command should be returning {{\['a'\]}} but is not.
> The command class itself appears to be doing the right thing -- maybe the 
> retval is getting lost somewhere else?
> FYI [~stack].
