Hi, i have a map reduce program with which i read from a hbase table. In my map program i check if the column value of a is xxx, if yes then continue with processing else skip it. however if my table is really big, most of my time in the map gets wasted for processing unwanted rows. is there any way through which we could send a subset of rows (based on the value of a particular column family) to the map???
i have also gone through TableInputFormatBase but am not able to figure out how do we set the input format if we are using TableMapReduceUtil class to initialize table map jobs. or is there any other way i could use it. Thanks in Advance, Raakhi.
