This is exactly what I need i.e. to be able to change the content of the row 
rather than different input format.
The use case is when you need to load large amount of data from files and each 
row needs to be handled before it is been processed by the CSV parser.  
Examples can be change date format, fix encoding, escape delimiters and more. 
Of course this can be done in different map-reduce job but since we are already 
processing each row then it would be nice if we can do it there.

Subject: Re: replace CsvToKeyValueMapper with my implementation

I seem to remember you starting down that path, Gabriel - a kind of pluggable 
transformation for each row. It wasn't pluggable on the input format, but 
that's a nice idea too, Ravi. I'm not sure if this is what Noam needs or if 
it's something else.

Probably good to discuss a bit more at the use case level to understand the 
specifics a bit more.

It would be great if we can provide an api and have end users provided 
implementation on how to parse each record . This way, we can move away with 
only bulk loading csv and have json and other formats of input bulk loaded onto 
phoenix tables.

I can take that one up. Would it be something the community like as a feature ?

Hi Noam,

That specific piece of code in CsvBulkLoadTool that you referred to
allows packaging the CsvBulkLoadTool within a different job jar file,
but won't allow setting a different mapper class. The actual setting
of the mapper class is done further down in the submitJob method,
specifically the following piece:

   job.setMapperClass(CsvToKeyValueMapper.class);

There isn't currently a way to load a custom mapper in the
CsvBulkLoadTool, so the only (current) option is to create a fully new
custom implementation of the bulk load tool (probably copying or
reusing most of the existing tool). However, I can certainly imagine
this being a useful feature to have in some situations.

Could you log this request in jira? It would also be really good to
have some more detail on your specific use case. And even better is a
patch that implements it :-)

- Gabriel
