[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-19758) Hadoop shell scripts rely on ncurses in some distros
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-19758?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=18075223#comment-18075223 ]

Rebased this onto current apache/trunk and force-pushed the refreshed branch. Local validation for the narrow shell change passed by sourcing hadoop-common-project/hadoop-common/src/main/bin/hadoop-functions.sh, simulating a PATH without tput, and verifying hadoop_generic_columnprinter still prints the expected archive-logs usage text without a tput error message. I also confirmed the branch still contains the matching bats regression in hadoop_subcommands.bats.
