   More of an observation - passing the secret on the command line is generally discouraged because it will expose the password when it should not be necessary.  The Accumulo shell follows the password conventions supported by openssl where the password can be in an environment variable, by a file, or stdin in addition to the command line.
   
   Being this is an example it probably does not make any difference as long as a test cluster is being used, but in practice, this should be avoided and maybe we could point the way by following that in the examples? Or not, it may just complicate things when that's not point of the example.
