stack commented on HBASE-5842:
------------------------------

@Jon http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/hbase/tags/0.18.1/bin/ has a Formatter.rb 
class.  You have to go back further to find our being able to format output as 
html: 
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/hbase/tags/0.1.3/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/hql/TableFormatterFactory.java?view=markup

@Harsh -c sounds good.... easier than echo blah blah.

>             Project: HBase
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: shell
>    Affects Versions: 0.94.0
>            Reporter: Harsh J
>            Priority: Minor

> Many times we've required scans of .META. to analyze issues with the cluster 
> we work on, and to have the result in a file we can pass around we usually 
> end up doing something like:
> {{echo "scan '.META.'| hbase shell > meta-scan.txt}}
> This can rather be simplified as something like the following instead, with 
> support for a commands reading argument:
> {{hbase shell -c "scan '.META.'"}}
> [Note though: File reading is possible already, i.e. {{hbase shell file.hs}}, 
> but then thats two steps and we usually don't keep a file around for just a 
> meta table scan.]
