[jira] [Updated] (HBASE-3539) Improve shell help to reflect all possible options

["Harsh J Chouraria (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3539?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Harsh J Chouraria updated HBASE-3539:
-------------------------------------

    Attachment: HBASE-3539.r1.diff

I looked over at all commands in ruby/shell/commands/*.rb and found only 'scan' to lack what you describe. Added in a minor addition to the 'get' output as well.

Docs carry a reference to HBASE-2470's patch.

> The shell is not consistent in its help texts. For example:
> {code}
> Scan a table; pass table name and optionally a dictionary of scanner
> specifications.  Scanner specifications may include one or more of
> the following: LIMIT, STARTROW, STOPROW, TIMESTAMP, or COLUMNS.  If
> no columns are specified, all columns will be scanned.
> {code}
> but in the code you have
> {code}
>  filter = args["FILTER"]
>  startrow = args["STARTROW"] || ''
>  stoprow = args["STOPROW"]
>  timestamp = args["TIMESTAMP"]
>  columns = args["COLUMNS"] || args["COLUMN"] || get_all_columns
>  cache = args["CACHE_BLOCKS"] || true
>  versions = args["VERSIONS"] || 1
> {code}
> VERSIONS is missing from the help. 
> Check all commands and make sure all options are stated and examples given.
