Nicholas Telford commented on HBASE-3967: ----------------------------------------- Anyone know what the status of this issue is? It looks to have been completed in the latest patch (or perhaps even in HBASE-5440, not sure what Lars meant there) but not reviewed/accepted? > Support deletes in HFileOutputFormat based bulk import mechanism > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-3967 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3967 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Sub-task > Reporter: Kannan Muthukkaruppan > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 0.96.0 > > Attachments: diff.patch > > > During bulk imports, it'll be useful to be able to do delete mutations > (either to delete data that already exists in HBase or was inserted earlier > during this run of the import). > For example, we have a use case, where we are processing a log of data which > may have both inserts and deletes in the mix and we want to upload that into > HBase using the bulk import mechanism. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
