------------------------------
@Edward There is no need for you to make a patch. I was just asking if you had
one. If you don't, don't worry about it. Thank you for taking the time to
report the issue.
> Users should be able to choose custom TableInputFormats without modifying
> TableMapReduceUtil.initTableMapperJob().

> Key: HBASE-4039
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4039
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: mapreduce
> Affects Versions: 0.90.3
> Environment: HBase-0.90.3. OS, hardware specs not relevant.
> Reporter: Edward Choi
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently,
> org.apache.hadoop.hbase.mapreduce.TableMapReduceUtil.initTableMapperJob()
> forces any Hbase job to use the default TableInputFormat.class as the job's
> input format class.
> "job.setInputFormatClass(TableInputFormat.class);" ==> This line is included
> in initTableMapperJob().
> This restriction causes users to modify initTableMapperJob() in addition to
> implementing their own TableInputFormat.
> It would be nicer if users can use custom TableInputFormats without
> additionally tampering with HBase source code.
