Is there a reasonably straight forward way to customize the shell's output for a given table? While many of our tables use string based data, we have some that use serialized data which is useless to view directly in the shell on the occasions where it'd be useful for debugging the output of a M/R job.
I'd think there'd be a way to write a object to serialize and deserialize the keys and values that could be plugged into the shell, but I'm not quickly finding how I'd do that. (Note - I know almost nothing about ruby so I could easily be overlooking something). - Adam
