HBASE SHELL COMMANDS:
 alter     Alter column family schema;  pass table name and a dictionary
           specifying new column family schema. Dictionaries are described
           below in the GENERAL NOTES section.  Dictionary must include name
           of column family to alter.  For example, 
           
           To change or add the 'f1' column family in table 't1' from defaults
           to instead keep a maximum of 5 cell VERSIONS, do:
           hbase> alter 't1', {NAME => 'f1', VERSIONS => 5}
           
           To delete the 'f1' column family in table 't1', do:
           hbase> alter 't1', {NAME => 'f1', METHOD => 'delete'}
           
 count     Count the number of rows in a table. This operation may take a LONG
           time (Run '$HADOOP_HOME/bin/hadoop jar hbase.jar rowcount' to run a
           counting mapreduce job). Current count is shown every 1000 rows by
           default. Count interval may be optionally specified. Examples:
           
           hbase> count 't1'
           hbase> count 't1', 100000

 create    Create table; pass table name, a dictionary of specifications per
           column family, and optionally a dictionary of table configuration.
           Dictionaries are described below in the GENERAL NOTES section.
           Examples:

           hbase> create 't1', {NAME => 'f1', VERSIONS => 5}
           hbase> create 't1', {NAME => 'f1'}, {NAME => 'f2'}, {NAME => 'f3'}
           hbase> # The above in shorthand would be the following:
           hbase> create 't1', 'f1', 'f2', 'f3'
           hbase> create 't1', {NAME => 'f1', VERSIONS => 1, TTL => 2592000, \\
             BLOCKCACHE => true}

 describe  Describe the named table: e.g. "hbase> describe 't1'"

 delete    Put a delete cell value at specified table/row/column and optionally
           timestamp coordinates.  Deletes must match the deleted cell's
           coordinates exactly.  When scanning, a delete cell suppresses older
           versions. Takes arguments like the 'put' command described below
 
 deleteall Delete all cells in a given row; pass a table name, row, and optionally 
           a column and timestamp

 disable   Disable the named table: e.g. "hbase> disable 't1'"
 
 drop      Drop the named table. Table must first be disabled

 enable    Enable the named table

 exists    Does the named table exist? e.g. "hbase> exists 't1'"

 exit      Type "hbase> exit" to leave the HBase Shell

 get       Get row or cell contents; pass table name, row, and optionally
           a dictionary of column(s), timestamp and versions.  Examples:

           hbase> get 't1', 'r1'
           hbase> get 't1', 'r1', {COLUMN => 'c1'}
           hbase> get 't1', 'r1', {COLUMN => ['c1', 'c2', 'c3']}
           hbase> get 't1', 'r1', {COLUMN => 'c1', TIMESTAMP => ts1}
           hbase> get 't1', 'r1', {COLUMN => 'c1', TIMESTAMP => ts1, \\
             VERSIONS => 4}

 list      List all tables in hbase

 put       Put a cell 'value' at specified table/row/column and optionally
           timestamp coordinates.  To put a cell value into table 't1' at
           row 'r1' under column 'c1' marked with the time 'ts1', do:

           hbase> put 't1', 'r1', 'c1', 'value', ts1

 scan      Scan a table; pass table name and optionally a dictionary of scanner 
           specifications.  Scanner specifications may include one or more of 
           the following: LIMIT, STARTROW, STOPROW, TIMESTAMP, or COLUMNS.  If 
           no columns are specified, all columns will be scanned.  To scan all 
           members of a column family, leave the qualifier empty as in 
           'col_family:'.  Examples:
           
           hbase> scan '.META.'
           hbase> scan '.META.', {COLUMNS => 'info:regioninfo'}
           hbase> scan 't1', {COLUMNS => ['c1', 'c2'], LIMIT => 10, \\
             STARTROW => 'xyz'}
           
 version   Output this HBase version

GENERAL NOTES:
Quote all names in the hbase shell such as table and column names.  Don't
forget commas delimit command parameters.  Type <RETURN> after entering a
command to run it.  Dictionaries of configuration used in the creation and
alteration of tables are ruby Hashes. They look like this:

  {'key1' => 'value1', 'key2' => 'value2', ...}

They are opened and closed with curley-braces.  Key/values are delimited by
the '=>' character combination.  Usually keys are predefined constants such as
NAME, VERSIONS, COMPRESSION, etc.  Constants do not need to be quoted.  Type
'Object.constants' to see a (messy) list of all constants in the environment.

This HBase shell is the JRuby IRB with the above HBase-specific commands added.
