BulkPut - Writable class compatible with TableOutputFormat for bulk puts agnostic of region server mapping at Mapper/Combiner level ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-2368 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2368 Project: Hadoop HBase Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Kay Kay Fix For: 0.21.0 TableOutputFormat currently accepts only a put/delete as writables. Some mapper processes might want to consolidate the 'put's and insert them in bulk. Useful in combiners / mappers - to send across a bunch of puts from one stage to another , while maintaining a very similar region-server-mapping agnostic api at respective levels. New type - BulkPut ( Writable ) introduced that is just a consolidation of Puts. Eventually , the TableOutputFormat bulk inserts the puts together into the hbase eco-system. Patch made against trunk only. But since , it does not break any backward compatibility - it can be an useful addition to the branch as well.
