> Currently the org.apache.accumulo.core.util.shell.commands.SetIterCommand
> requires that the iterator implement the OptionDescriber interface (line
> 128). This prevents using some useful iterators at the shell, for instance
> the DebugIterator. A nice way to learn how iterators work is to set this
> iterator, use "debug on" at the shell and start scanning different ways.
> There are two possible solutions that I see. One is to make all iterators
> delivered with Accumulo implement OptionDescriber, and document this shell
> quirk, or to use reflection in the shell code to see if the iterator class
> implements OptionDescriber, otherwise just ensure it implements
> SortedKeyValueIterator.
