Appy commented on HBASE-20276:
------------------------------
Sorry guys for the mess i started. :(
Another alternate is - Remove the --return-values flag and make that
functionality default (which is what we had earlier). And explicitly call it
out as bug in 1.4.0, 1.4.1 releases.
That will undo the damage in 2.0 and we won't have to carry the baggage in
future.

> Shell:
> HBASE-19770. There was another issue opened where this was identified as a
> problem so maybe the shape will change further, but I can't find it now.

> New commentary from [~busbey]:
> This was a follow on to HBASE-15965. That change effectively makes it so none
> of our ruby wrappers can be used to build expressions in an interactive REPL.
> This is a pretty severe change (most of my tips on HBASE-15611 will break, I
> think).
> I think we should
> a) Have a DISCUSS thread, spanning dev@ and user@
> b) based on the outcome of that thread, either default to the new behavior or
> the old behavior
> c) if we keep the HBASE-15965 behavior as the default, flag it as
> incompatible, call it out in the hbase 2.0 upgrade section, and update docs
> (two examples: the output in the shell_exercises sections would be wrong, and
> the _table_variables section won't work)
> d) In either case document the new flag in the ref guide
