Do an OutputFormat that just writes files to your NAS and hook it up to the export tool in place of SequenceFileOutputFormat. Set your new NASOutputFormat instead of SequenceFileOutputFormat here: http://hbase.apache.org/xref/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/mapreduce/Export.html#99 (You'll probably have to override Exporter to do your customization copying bulk of createSubmittableJob into subclass) St.Ack
