Christopher Tubbs commented on ACCUMULO-1399:
---------------------------------------------
The shell was originally designed to support pluggable commands. However, it
was decided against making this a user-facing feature because of the confusion
it might cause distinguishing between "official" features, and commands users
might grow accustomed to on a particular customized installation (and because
nobody had much interest in maintaining other users' commands that behave
badly).
Better integration with other commands is also a motivation for ACCUMULO-1045,
and I think our efforts might be better suited towards that area, leveraging
things like auto-completion in bash, and standardized command-line parsing.

> 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.
