Hi Jon, Thanks for reply.

bq.If this is the case, is there a
reason why you can't just use the hadoop script (which i believe calls
FsShell) in your scripts?
In case of stand alone cluster we can just use linux commands(hadoop script
also if present) other wise we can use hadoop script.
My intention is to just provide abstraction from local file system or hdfs
to query underneath file system in the same way from hbase bash shell by
using FsShell.(hadoop build may or may not present).

    With your example your hbase scripts seem to be at the bash shell level
(as
    opposed to the jruby hbase shell level).  If this is the case, is there

    Ex: $HADOOP_HOME/bin/hadoop fs -ls hdfs://127.0.0.1/hbase/.logs
