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

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8593?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13663916#comment-13663916 ] 

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

Well, then on the same lines won't it be good to have type support in the CopyTable tool as well ? It would be helpful in case where data has to be migrated between the tables with some type transformations.

> 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.
