Bhupendra Kumar Jain commented on HBASE-13051: ---------------------------------------------- As I understand request is for Record Delimiter option. *ImportTsv* internally uses *TextInputFormat* as input format class which has configuration for record delimiter as *textinputformat.record.delimiter* So configuring this parameter will be sufficient for your requirement. But as a proper solution It will be better, if ImportTsv takes its own parameter such as as *importtsv.record.separator*.and internally configures to TextInputFormat OR some other input format class in future. Whats your opinion ? > Custom line separator option for bulk loading > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-13051 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-13051 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 0.98.10.1 > Reporter: sivakumar > > While bulk loading data through ImportTsv dont have an option to choose > custom line separator.
