I am scripting the installation of accumulo for no particular reason.
I've reached the stage when I need to run "accumulo init". I've looked
at the source and do not see any way to pass the instance name and
password on the command line. Did I overlook something?

AFAIK, there are no CLI options for this currently. You might be able to
pipe in your instance name and passwd (two times) to get around it.

e.g. `echo accumulo secret secret | accumulo init`

Alternatively it should be straightforward to add -i and -p options to
`init`.

Here's the magic incantation, which you might find in some of the tests,
too:

#!/bin/sh
./bin/accumulo init --clear-instance-name <<EOF
instance
secret
secret
EOF

The flag for overwriting the instance name already exists.  Might as well
add the others.

Thanks Eric. That resolves my issue.

If we add those, we also need s force flag for overwriting zookeeper info
when you're reusing an instance name.

Sent from my phone, so pardon the typos and brevity.

You can also write an expect script to achieve this.
