I have a TSV file like this :
a    b   c   d   e

I want the rowkey to be a_d and the rest to be column fields.  Is there a
way of doing this using importtsv out of the box or do I need to touch the
code?

I ran into this issue as well recently.

Out of the box you can only specify one field as the row key, using
HBASE_ROW_KEY as an argument to the importtsv program. I had to create my
own ImportTsv class to add in the functionality to specify multiple fields
as parts of the row key.
