["Lars George (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2374?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12849636#action_12849636 ]

------------------------------------

Hey KayKay,

I was wondering what that actually helps? You can already specify a combination of columns or families with the existing parameter. If you leave out a ":" divider then it is internally treated as a column family and addFamily is called, if it *does* have a colon divider then it parses out family and column and adds them together. Please advise.

> Currently , TIF supports hbase.mapreduce.scan.columns to add family:qualifiers as a conf parameter. 
> This adds -  hbase.mapreduce.scan.column.family , as a configurable parameter to add a family to the scan of TIF. 
> Patch against trunk , but does not break backward compatibility.
