Harsh J commented on HBASE-5338:
--------------------------------
@Lars - I preferred to implement a missing value skipper instead. That is
'a,,c,d' is valid in meaning that 'b' (non-existent in the spec) will get
skipped. Works at ends too.
> Add SKIP support to importtsv

> It'd be nice to have support for "SKIP" mappings so that you can omit columns
> from the TSV during the import. For example
> {code}
> -Dimporttsv.columns=SKIP,HBASE_ROW_KEY,cf1:col1,cf1:col2,SKIP,SKIP,cf2:col1...
> {code}
> Or maybe HBASE_SKIP_COLUMN to be less ambiguous.
