-------------------------------------

             Summary: [shell] Count shell command to return ruby bindable value.
                 Key: HBASE-7306
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7306
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Sub-task
            Reporter: Jonathan Hsieh


Currently if you have a table foo with 5 rows in it, you can run this command:

{code}
hbase(main):001:0> x = count 'foo'
3100 row(s) in 0.7030 seconds
hbase(main):001:0> x
nil
{code}

Ideally, the 'x' variable should be 5. so something like this coudl be done:

{code}
Kernel.exit 127 if x != 5
{code}

This is useful for having scripts that can check a condition and act.
