Mike Drob commented on ACCUMULO-1045:
-------------------------------------
Ok, I think I finally grok this ticket. An important prerequisite for nice set
of command line tools would be cleaner handling of authentication. If users
have to do something like {{accumulo-scan -u user -p password -t table [-r
row]}} then I'm pretty sure we would have a revolt on our hands.
Some of this can be taken care of with the addition of a {{.accumulorc}} file,
especially the user/pass part. Another way to handle the credential stuff might
be through the new Authorizations API that [~vines] added, and delegating to a
sane system like LDAP and not requiring the user to specify additional details.
I think the {{.accumulorc}} support would be generally useful though, and will
create a separate ticket for it.

>
> Create a suite of command-line utilities (probably based on the shell's
> existing commands, or a subset of them), rather than be restricted to the
> limitations of the shell to issue these commands.
> This adds benefit by being able to more simply pipe to external utilities,
> like awk, grep, sed, etc. It also has the potential to eliminate restrictions
> when scanning for binary data, standardize command line arguments better
> (especially by removing the shell "current-table" context), and leverage
> settings/profiles stored in some file (like $HOME/.accumulo/config).
