Hi, I logged two JIRAs which add options to mapreduce.Export: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2225 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2434
Potentially there could be another option which filters rows using regex: // see if there is row filter if (args.length > 5) { byte [] prefix = Bytes.toBytes(args[5]); if (args[5].startsWith("^")) { s.setFilter(new RowFilter(CompareOp.EQUAL, new RegexStringComparator(args[5]))); } else s.setFilter(new PrefixFilter(prefix)); System.out.println("row filter is: " + args[5]); } That is 3 more options on top of existing options. So I logged HBASE-2416 which would allow table.jsp to easily accommodate more options. Please comment on the approach of processing more and more command line options for mapreduce.Export Thanks
