Allow setting Scan start/stop row individually in TableInputFormat ------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-5208 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5208 Project: HBase Issue Type: Improvement Components: mapreduce Reporter: Nicholas Telford Priority: Minor Currently, TableInputFormat initializes a serialized Scan from "hbase.mapreduce.scan". Alternatively, it will instantiate a new Scan using properties defined in "hbase.mapreduce.scan.*". However, of these properties the "start row" and "stop row" (arguably the most pertinent) are missing. TableInputFormat should permit the specification of a start/stop row as with the other fields using a new pair of properties: "hbase.mapreduce.scan.row.start" and "hbase.mapreduce.scan.row.end" The primary use-case for this is to permit Oozie and other job management tools that can't call TableMapReduceUtil.initTableMapperJob() to operate on a contiguous subset of rows. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
