Description

After upgrade fro 2.3.x to 2.4.x, we noticed that the behavior of the shell's load command has changed.

Given a file of commands, i.e.

$ echo 'list' > /tmp/file

2.3.x:

$ hbase shell
hbase(main):001:0> load '/tmp/file'
TABLE                                                                                                                                                                                                       
TestTable

=> true
hbase(main):002:0>

branch-2.4:

$ hbase shell
hbase:001:0> load '/tmp/file'

Traceback (most recent call last):
NameError (undefined local variable or method `list' for main:Object)
