Xuesen Liang updated HBASE-15432: --------------------------------- Comment: was deleted (was: How about to reuse 'SCAN_COLUMN_FAMILY'? For example, the following code in org.apache.hadoop.hbase.mapreduce.TableInputFormat {code} if (conf.get(SCAN_COLUMN_FAMILY) != null) { scan.addFamily(Bytes.toBytes(conf.get(SCAN_COLUMN_FAMILY))); } {code} can be replaced by {code} for (String cf : conf.getTrimmedStrings(SCAN_COLUMN_FAMILY)) { scan.addFamily(Bytes.toBytes(cf)); } {code} It is totally compatible. ) > TableInputFormat - support multiple column families scan > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-15432 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-15432 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: New Feature > Affects Versions: 2.0.0, 0.98.16, 0.98.16.1 > Reporter: nirav patel > > Currently Hbase TableInputFormat class has SCAN_COLUMN_FAMILY and > SCAN_COLUMNS. SCAN_COLUMN_FAMILY can only scan single column family. If we > need to scan multiple column families from a table then we must use > SCAN_COLUMNS where we must provide both columns and column families which is > not a convenient. Can we have a SCAN_COLUMN_FAMILIES which supports scan of > multiple column families. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
