John Vines commented on ACCUMULO-1706:
--------------------------------------
I don't know too much about this, but it seems fine. If people want to see
better behavior for other utilities, they can put in tickets down the road. I
say ship it.

> Many of the admin utilities can potentially print a lot of output, but don't
> play nice with standard unix utilities like {{head}}. These tools should
> periodically check if the stdout pipe has been closed, and terminate
> appropriately, instead of continuing to execute and printing output that
> nobody will ever see.
> This check can be done using {{System.out.checkError()}}.
