> Currently, all the commands that operate on a table in the shell first have to take the table as name as input. 
> There are two main considerations:
> * It is annoying to have to write the table name every time, when you should just be able to get a reference to a table
> * the current implementation is very wasteful - it creates a new HTable for each call (but reuses the connection since it uses the same configuration)
> We should be able to get a handle to a single HTable and then operate on that.
