Research direction

Start by reading geomesa-accumulo/geomesa-accumulo-tools/src/main/scala/org/locationtech/geomesa/accumulo/tools/data/AddAttributeIndexCommand.scala, which is cited as the analogous implementation. Trace how that command populates an attribute index, then identify the HBase CLI entry point and verify that the new command populates the index rather than only updating metadata.
