[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-8593) Type support in ImportTSV tool

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8593?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13664886#comment-13664886 ] 

Bijeet Singh commented on HBASE-8593:
-------------------------------------

[~anoop.hbase]If you have data stored in tables wherein every column value is stored considering it to be of type String but, now you want them to be stored with appropriate data-types, in this case it calls for type transformations while copying data from one table to another. Isn't it ?

> Now the ImportTSV tool treats all the table column to be of type String. It converts the input data into bytes considering its type to be String. Some times user will need a type of say int/float to get added to table by using this tool.
