Implement status formatting. #106

Closed hairyhum closed 7 years ago

hairyhum commented 8 years ago

Status command output is printed as is in the old CLI. It should be printed in some human-readable way.

See https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-cli/blob/master/lib/rabbitmq/cli/ctl/status_print.ex

This defaults to the Erlang terms output for maximum compatibility. We can produce something human-readable for 3.8.0.

Of course, the above is not to say that I find the current formatter to be good but our top goals for the 3.7.0 version is compatibility with existing tooling and extensibility. The community can come up with their own formatters and distribute them as plugins, and we will change the default over time. Some will consider JSON formatting to be more valuable than a "human-readable" one, for example.
