Dear Ted, Thanks very much for your reply! Yes. MultiTableInputFormat may work here, but i still want to know how to connect a hbase table inside MapReduce applications. Because i may need also write to tables inside map function.
Do you know why previous mr application does not work? Because the wrong configuration instance? Any suggestion will be great for me!
