[jira] [Commented] (ACCUMULO-1399) Pluggable commands for the shell

["Josh Elser (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1399?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13652563#comment-13652563 ] 

Josh Elser commented on ACCUMULO-1399:
--------------------------------------

I wonder if you could define some sort of meta-language (I'm making up words now, I think) in which you could do something like this automagically.

{{(define make-my-tables ((create-table foo1), (create-table foo2), (create-table foo3), (config -t foo1 -s prop1=val1)))}}

Which would define the command "make-my-tables" which you could call in the shell. I wonder how much easier life would get if we had a more dynamic/interpreted language around the shell. Thoughts?

> Proposing modification to the Shell to allow applications to create their own set of commands. This might be accomplished using java.util.ServiceLoader or something like it. Specifically, I'm thinking of a case where I have a create table command that is different than the one provided by the Shell. In my case, my create table command may create one or more tables and setup iterators on them.
