-------------------------------------
Summary: Make it easy to provide a tab literal as separator for
CSV imports
Key: PHOENIX-1523
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-1523
Project: Phoenix
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Gabriel Reid
When importing CSV data that is tab-separated, it's quite inconvenient to
supply a tab literal on the command line to override the default separator (you
need to press Ctrl-V, followed by Tab, which isn't well known).
It would be better if it was possible to supply something that looks like a tab
literal, i.e. '\t', or something else like '<tab>', to reduce the complexity in
supplying a tab separator.
Regardless of the approach, the way to supply a tab character should also be
added to the documentation (or to the command line docs provided by the tool).
This should be done for both the map reduce bulk loader, and psql.
