Chao Shi updated CRUNCH-212:
----------------------------

    Attachment: crunch-212-draft.patch

Sorry for the late reply. I finally decided to not use hbase's 
HFileOutputFormat and implement our own version as a thin wrapper of 
HFile.Writer, because I think the former one is too hacky and is not a pure 
output format.

My plan is to leverage crunch's functionality of sort and multiple MR stages 
than using HFileOutputFormat's.

More over, I see HFileOutputFormat use a TreeSet to sort KVs in memory at 
reducer side. I don't think it is neccessary for us, because we can sort them 
during shuffle (HFileOutputFormat sorts on row only in shuffle. I don't know 
why).

> I need to import data to hbase from MR. I found HFileOutputFormat is ~5x more 
> efficient than HTableOutputFormat. So maybe we need a target wrapper for it.
> Future more, is it possible to call HBase to load it automatically after 
> HFiles are generated?
