> Key: HBASE-3646
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3646
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: client
> Affects Versions: 0.90.1
> Environment: Cloudera 3.5 VM
> TableMapper<ImmutableBytesWritable,IntWritable>
> TableReducer<ImmutableBytesWritable,IntWritable, ImmutableBytesWritable>
> Reporter: Bob Cummins
> Priority: Minor
>
> When mapper writes multiple values for a key, the underlying collection class
> maps each of the values to the key, but not always in chronological order. If
> chronological order were guaranteed each of the values mapped to the key,
> each of the values could be understood as specific and different parameters
> between the mapper and the reducer.
> I've done little tricks like having the mapper flag one a the values by
> making it a negative number, which the reducer recognizes and can write it to
> hbase as a unique column value.This is a kluge workaround which it would be
> nice to not have to do.
> Used to formulate this suggestion:
> TableMapper<ImmutableBytesWritable,IntWritable>
> TableReducer<ImmutableBytesWritable,IntWritable, ImmutableBytesWritable>
