[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-8298) desc shorthand for describe , similar to how databases have

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8298?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13684422#comment-13684422 ] 

stack commented on HBASE-8298:
------------------------------

Thanks [~harisekhon].  You'd think there would be a better way to do this than have to create a new Command .rb file.  Could the list of commands be a regex of something?  Seems like something you could do in ruby?  Doing it this way when you list the commands available, will describe and desc both show?  That might confuse?
