             Summary: Create an hbase-tool module and move here standalone tools bundled with core
                 Key: HBASE-25190
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-25190
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: tooling
            Reporter: Michael Stack


HBASE-23933 is about moving balancer classes to a new hbase-balancer module as an effort at shrinking the size of the hbase-server module -- it is too big.

This issue is about creating a hbase-tool module into which we'd move standalone tools that ship with hbase core such as the bulkloadtool and the canary and all related supporting and test classes.

I do not see this making much of a dent in the size of hbase-server. This issue is offered as a small improvement.

(Aside, I'd move some favored node 'tool' classes that are currently in limbo here at least until we rule on whether to finish or remove if this module was put in place -- see HBASE-25185).
