Allow non-XML representable separator characters in the ImportTSV tool
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-3623
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3623
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: mapreduce
Affects Versions: 0.90.1
Environment: Cloudera Hadoop/HBase (3B4)
Reporter: Harsh J Chouraria
Fix For: 0.92.0
Attachments: hbase.importtsv.xml.friendly.r1.diff
The current importtsv functionality will not work if one passes a non-XML
representable character as the separator character (say, an escape character -
\u001b, fairly common in use).
{code}
-Dimporttsv.separator=$'\x1b' # This param fails the submitter when serialized.
{code}
While this is a limitation with the Configuration class's being serialized as
an XML, it can be circumvented by applying a suitable encoding that makes a
string XML-compatible.
