Gustavo Anatoly commented on HBASE-5339: ---------------------------------------- Hi, Lars. I'm interested to contribute, with this improvement so I would like to know, what do you think about to create an inner class CompoundTsvParser inside ImportTsv, and inside CompoundTsvParser create specific parser line class? Thanks. > Add support for compound keys to importtsv > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: HBASE-5339 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5339 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: mapreduce > Reporter: Lars George > Priority: Trivial > > Add support that you can combine some columns from the TSV with either a > given separator, no separator, or with a custom row key generator class. > Syntax could be: > {code} > -Dimporttsv.columns=HBASE_ROW_KEY_1,HBASE_ROW_KEY_2,cf1:col1,cf2:col3,HBASE_ROW_KEY_3 > -Dimporttsv.rowkey.separator="-" > {code} > Another option of course is using the custom mapper class and handle this > there, but this also seems like a nice to have option, probably often > covering the 80% this sort of thing is needed. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
