+KnoxShell README
+*********************************************************************
+Client Details 
+The KnoxShell release artifact provides a small footprint client environment
+that removes all unnecessary server dependencies, configuration, binary scripts,
+etc. It is comprised a couple different things that empower different sorts of users.
+
+ - A set of SDK type classes for providing access to Hadoop resources over HTTP
+ - A Groovy based DSL for scripting access to Hadoop resources based on the underlying SDK classes
+ - A KnoxShell Token based Sessions to provide a CLI SSO session for executing multiple scripts
