Josh Elser commented on ACCUMULO-1399: -------------------------------------- I wonder if you could define some sort of meta-language (I'm making up words now, I think) in which you could do something like this automagically. {{(define make-my-tables ((create-table foo1), (create-table foo2), (create-table foo3), (config -t foo1 -s prop1=val1)))}} Which would define the command "make-my-tables" which you could call in the shell. I wonder how much easier life would get if we had a more dynamic/interpreted language around the shell. Thoughts? > Pluggable commands for the shell > -------------------------------- > > Key: ACCUMULO-1399 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1399 > Project: Accumulo > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: shell > Reporter: Dave Marion > Assignee: Dave Marion > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 1.6.0 > > > Proposing modification to the Shell to allow applications to create their own > set of commands. This might be accomplished using java.util.ServiceLoader or > something like it. Specifically, I'm thinking of a case where I have a create > table command that is different than the one provided by the Shell. In my > case, my create table command may create one or more tables and setup > iterators on them. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
