stack commented on HBASE-5440:
------------------------------

LGTM.  Whats missing is better documentation in the usage for Import.  This new 
option will be under a rock unless its better surfaced.  +1 on commit after 
beefing up usage.  Add some lines under here:

{code}
-    System.err.println("Usage: Import <tablename> <inputdir>");
+    System.err.println("Usage: Import [-D" + BULK_OUTPUT_CONF_KEY
+        + "=/path/for/output] <tablename> <inputdir>");
{code}

... going on about what the -D thingy does.

Good stuff.

> importtsv support importing into a life table or to generate HFiles for bulk 
> load.
> import should allow the same.
> Could even consider merging these tools into one (in principle the only 
> difference is the parsing part - although that is maybe for a different jira).
