@jongyoul I feel #714 is quick approach, but stability and features
provided by DataTable are good and rich. **Also to remove confusion Data-tables
table-tool (retired and replaced by buttons extension) used FLASH, but new
buttons plugin dont need FLASH if your browser support HTML5**.
You can confirm this from below URL that it dont need FLASH.

As per my experience when we have multi-line text in a single cell (Header
or Data cell) or text in a single cell separated by tab or comma, DataTable is
good in handling that.There are many such issues where DataTable had provided
solution, and if we implement custom export than we have to handle them.
Also see below URL, where we can select columns to export, pagination,
filtration.

So as per my thought integrating DataTable instead of custom export, can
remove issues already handled and fixed by DataTable and this will also make
way for having more features in Zeppelin Table.
