Edward Yoon commented on HADOOP-2264:
-------------------------------------
>> I suppose we could write one that works with Writables - i.e. pass cell
>> bytes to readField and use the toString as formatter - and that'd be good
>> enough for most needs. Would 'formatter' be a better name than 'MyCast/UDC'?
>> Default it could take column name only and format using Writables.
>> Optionally you could pass in the name of a class to do custom formatting?
I think there is no difference between 'formatter' and 'UDC' in
functional/executional ability, michael.

> Currently when selecting a row, if the data does not convert to a String the
> hbase shell will print garbage. It would be nice if HQL supported a
> mechanism to format individual columns. Something along the lines of:
> select col1: format(SomeFormatClass), col2: format(AnotherFormatClass) from
> table ....
