Bijeet Singh commented on HBASE-8593:
-------------------------------------
[~anoop.hbase]If you have data stored in tables wherein every column value is
stored considering it to be of type String but, now you want them to be stored
with appropriate data-types, in this case it calls for type transformations
while copying data from one table to another. Isn't it ?

> Now the ImportTSV tool treats all the table column to be of type String. It
> converts the input data into bytes considering its type to be String. Some
> times user will need a type of say int/float to get added to table by using
> this tool.
