Amandeep Khurana commented on HBASE-6740:
-----------------------------------------
I think it makes sense to have a separate toolsmith's repo for ongoing work
where people can keep adding tools. As those tools become stable, they can be
rolled back into a hbase-tools module in the main project. This allows for
faster iteration on just the tools and an independent release cycle for newer
tools that folks might find useful.

> We currently have some stock MR jobs like import/export, copytable, importtsv
> etc and tools like hbck, hfile viewer, WAL viewer etc that are a part of
> HBase core. These are sometimes used just as is and often times need some
> sort of customization to make them work in user environments. I propose we
> build out a more extensive and extensible tool set and move it out to a
> separate package outside core so we can add to those and release those as
> they evolve.
