[jira] Commented: (HBASE-67) Help Output Format should be easy to read.

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-67?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12567538#action_12567538 ] 

Edward Yoon commented on HBASE-67:
----------------------------------

>> Is there a reason why the output of HELP is in tabular form? It would make it much easier to read if it used all the white space it could. I often have windows wider than 80 characters, and the MySQL command line client takes advantage of this.

Thanks. I made a new format for easy-to-read.
