--------------------------------


Would still like one of these 2 patches integrated to give the desc command in hbase shell.

Anyone who's ever used a database knows 'desc', and it doesn't detract anything - people are still able to use the longer form 'describe'.

> desc <tablename> shorthand for describe <tablename>, similar to how databases have
