Hi There, For certain types of event data, such as log files, it would be nice to have a way to write to HBase such that fields from the original file can be parsed into distinct columns.
I want to implement this for a one-off project (and maybe for contribution back to flume if this makes sense). What is the best way to go about it? Based on skimming the code my sense is that writing a custom HBase sink makes the most sense. Is that heading down the right path, or is there some other component I should be modifying or extending? - Patrick
