    The HBaseTableOutputFormat should be of type <T extends Tuple> like the 
CSVOutputFormat or the JDBCOutputFormat. Depending on the configuration of the 
OutputFormat, the fields of the tuple are used as row keys or written to 
specified columns of the HBase table. The JDBCOutputFormat is doing something 
similar by writing Tuple data to a relational database table.
    In order to make this work, the OutputFormat requires a bit of 
configuration including the Hbase table, schema information, key information, 
etc.
    Does that make sense?
