stack commented on HADOOP-2595: ------------------------------- You think this the way to go Edward? Don't you want to specify a format for the output file (html|txt|binary|etc). You added formatting as command-line option to the shell... making it so you could do: "$ echo 'SELECT * FROM ... '| ./bin/hbase shell --format=SOME_FORMAT > outputfile'. Isn't that sufficient? (How does mysql do this? Or how does mysql read into current mysql shell a list of commands to run? I don't remember ...) > [HQL] Outputting select into file > --------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-2595 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2595 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: contrib/hbase > Affects Versions: 0.16.0 > Reporter: Edward Yoon > Assignee: Edward Yoon > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.17.0 > > > {code} > SELECT { column_name [, column_name] ... | expr[alias] | * } > FROM table_name > [WHERE row = 'row-key' | STARTING FROM 'row-key' [UNTIL 'stop-key']] > [NUM_VERSIONS = version_count] > [TIMESTAMP 'timestamp'] > [LIMIT = row_count] > [INTO FILE 'file_name'] <----------------* > {code} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
