Make mapper function in ImportTSV plug-able
-------------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-3880
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3880
Project: HBase
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Bill Graham
It would be really useful to allow the ability to specify a different Mapper
for the {{ImportTsv}} class to use than the current {{TsvImporter}}. This would
allow transformations to be made on the input data before being added to HBase.
One suggestion is to add a new command line option to specify a user defined
mapper (UDM?). Or maybe instead we just refactor it to be extended where a
subclass can specify a new mapper.
The mapper is statically defined and bound to the job though, so I'm not sure
of the best way to make it dynamically plug-able. Suggestions welcome.
