Hi

I want to bulk load from local file to hbase table. Can I load file rows to hbase table without importing to hdfs. Hbase import tool reads data from hdfs. How can I implement MR job reading local file and writing hbase table?

Now,I'm doing bulk loading in steps

1) load file to hdfs
2) run MR job to load file lines to hbase table

There are two loading processes. Is there a problem in this approach?

M.S

HBase bulkloads by moving the files into its region directories, so it
is essentially just one "loading process".

Where you want the data to get stored finally..I mean the raw data.. I hope
that in HDFS only ( u want)
Have a look at ImportTSV tool..

Yes, you can. Use file:///full-path-name. You may not get more than one map
job though.
