Sean Busbey resolved HBASE-16459.
---------------------------------
      Resolution: Fixed
    Hadoop Flags: Incompatible change
    Release Note: 
<!-- markdown -->

The HBase `shell` command no longer recognizes the option `--format`. Previously this option only recognized the default value of 'console'. The default value is now always used.

> The usage information when running {{hbase shell}} refers to a formatter option that has yet to implemented in over 8 years and which will ostensibly never be implemented. As such, let's cleanup the [help message|https://github.com/apache/hbase/blob/master/bin/hirb.rb#L57-L59] and remove some extraneous lines of code from {{[hirb.rb|https://github.com/apache/hbase/blob/master/bin/hirb.rb#L74-L83]}}.
