Minor Description
org.apache.accumulo.core.util.shell.ShellTest sometimes fails for me when run from the Maven command line. Tracing down, I see that line 154 (1.5.1 version) contains the following
exec("getauths", true, "y,z,x");
This test expects that the set of authorizations returns from the getauths command always come in the particular order "y,z,x". For whatever reason, on my machine, they came out in a different order ("x,y,z" for the record).
My proposed fix (patch shortly) would be to have the test look for those individual label strings returned within the authorization string. I think this is a more accurate and future proof test than what's in there now.
