Description

It would be nice to support a .accumulorc file for specifying some amount of configured default values for each shell.

Probably would want to have a tiered approach with values in $ACCUMULO_HOME/conf/accumulorc being overwritten by those in $HOME/.accumulorc if present. Might also check for /etc/accumulorc or similar.

This should support some level of specifying a user principal and authentication token. Might also be useful to specify debug mode on/off, traces on/off, a default table/pattern to perform operations against. Other ideas appreciated, but not required. We can always create more tickets for them in the future.
