------------------------------------------------------
I'd like very much to see the support for multiple column families implemented.
For example, in a project, we'd like to use Sqoop for importing "data" and
"metadata" column families. But, because of Sqoop cannot define multiple CFs,
finally other custom solution prevailed.
Maybe there could be some option in a form of a dictionary, like
{{--hbase-cf-mappings="cf1:col1;cf2:col2,col3,col4;cf3:"}}
where
* col1 is meant to be column family cf1,
* col2,col3 and col4 would pertain to column family cf2, and
* cf3 would be the default column family
Just brainstorming here..

> Key: SQOOP-472
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-472
> Project: Sqoop
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: hbase-integration
> Affects Versions: 1.4.0-incubating
> Environment: Unix
> Reporter: Anil Gupta
> Priority: Major
>
> At present, SQOOP doesnt supports importing data in more than one column
> family in HBase.
> At present, if i need to import data into two column families then i need to
> run Sqoop twice. Two column families can be imported by invoking sqoop once
> rather than twice.
> Example for loading data into Hbase with more than one column families using
> HBase java API can be looked into HBase Bulk Loader.
