Dave Marion commented on ACCUMULO-1399:
---------------------------------------

I'm working within the bounds of the Shell and Commons CLI. I'm all for it if it can be done. Just so I understand your suggestion, you are saying that we should pass one big string in the -a arg and let each script parse the arguments out?

> Proposing modification to the Shell to allow applications to create their own set of commands. This might be accomplished using java.util.ServiceLoader or something like it. Specifically, I'm thinking of a case where I have a create table command that is different than the one provided by the Shell. In my case, my create table command may create one or more tables and setup iterators on them.
