Thanks Stack and Erik. I will look at the backup MR job in the issue. BTW, we won't be able to use the table based indexer as it's not useful whenever you use column name as data (so that we can store multiple columns per row). Most of our tables have column as data and hence we cannot specify the fully qualified column name in the IndexSpecification.

To: hbase-user@hadoop.apache.org Hi Vaibhav! *https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-974 *is what Stack is talking about, just look at the last comment that I made so you know why it is a little bit slow at the moment. Internally on Streamy we use a setup class so that every table is only initiated one and you get and put that table back so other MR can use it. Hope it works for you. Regards Erik
