Github user javadba commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/194#issuecomment-49133737 Hi, the referenced PR Spark-1416 includes the following comment by @MLnick: "But looking at the HBase PR you referenced, I don't see the value of having that live in Spark. And why is it not simply using an OutputFormat instead of custom config and writing code? (I might be missing something here, but it seems to add complexity and maintenance burden unnecessarily)" Patrick: would you mind to tell us whether that comment were going to be affect this PR? We are going to be providing a significant chunk of HBase functionality and would like to know whether to build off of this PR or not. Thanks.
