[jira] [Resolved] (ACCUMULO-557) unexpected behavior in the shell with special characters

["Eric Newton (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-557?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Eric Newton resolved ACCUMULO-557.
----------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

Fixing this would require re-writing the hex decoding to do it as late as possible and/or change the library we use to parse the commands.  Both will take about 3 or 4 days, with about a week of testing.  I'm closing this because it's just a lot of work.  However if someone wants to take this on, go ahead and reopen the ticket.
