> In the HBase shell, when the output isn't a TTY, the shell assumes the "terminal" to be 100 characters wide.  The way the shell wraps things around makes it very hard to script the output of the shell (e.g. redirect the output to a file and then work on that file, or pipe the output to another command).
> When stdout isn't a TTY, the shell shouldn't try to wrap things around.
