Anoop, I am using HFileOutputFormat. I am doing nothing but splitting the data from each row by the delimiter and sending it into their respective columns. Is there some kind of preprocessing or steps that I should do before this? As suggested I will look into the above solutions and let you guys know what the problem was. I might have to rethink the Rowkey design.
