Add dump/load to the HBase shell
--------------------------------
Key: HBASE-3960
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3960
Project: HBase
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: shell
Reporter: Joey Echeverria
Priority: Minor
>From the mailing list:
That would be a real nice feature though, imagine going to the shell,
and requesting a dump of your table.
> load into outfile/hdfs '/tmp/table_a' from table_a
Or something similar.
> load from outfile/hdfs -- could power bulk uploader
Further discussion suggested that for large tables, the commands should launch
a MR job (assuming a JobTracker is available).
