Jesse Yates updated HBASE-5548:
-------------------------------

    Attachment: ruby_HBASE-5528-v0.patch

Initial cut at this ticket. Its a little unclean as we don't have a nice way to isolate the java methods from the ruby methods and absolutely zero formatting from the output of the different commands as that is currently handled by the individual 'command' implementations.

> Currently, all the commands that operate on a table in the shell first have to take the table as name as input. 
> There are two main considerations:
> * It is annoying to have to write the table name every time, when you should just be able to get a reference to a table
> * the current implementation is very wasteful - it creates a new HTable for each call (but reuses the connection since it uses the same configuration)
> We should be able to get a handle to a single HTable and then operate on that.
