Description

Accumulo has a lot of admin commands that are not easy to find or run. It would be nice if we could do the following :

  $ accumulo admin instances --list

instead of :

  $ accumulo org.apache.accumulo.server.util.ListInstances

Also "accumulo admin" could list all possible admin commands

  $ accumulo admin
  Usage : accumulo admin <command> 
  Commands :
    instances   - <short description>
    findOffline - <short description>
    zookeeper   - <short description>
  
  For more information about a specific command run :
    accumulo admin <command> --help
  $
