Jonathan Gray commented on HBASE-1684:
--------------------------------------
@Schubert What do you mean just use the normal API? These are MapReduce jobs.
You are referring to wanting to do imports/exports at the HDFS level instead?
(that is not this issue)
Bulk importing can be done with HBASE-48, but it is not yet fully-featured
(only works on single families, doesn't work into existing tables, etc)
Bulk exporting at HFile level is going to require some form of
freezing/snapshotting so it's 100% safe and consistent to do that (though it's
still possible now, and we're doing it in production here). There is an old
issue for this as well, HBASE-50.
