             Summary: [89-fb] New copy table utility
                 Key: HBASE-7707
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7707
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Adela Maznikar
            Assignee: Adela Maznikar
            Priority: Minor


We noticed some issues using CopyTable so we want to work on a new utility for table copying. We will keep the old CopyTable and create a new class which will use TableInputFormat + HFileOutputFormat + Bulkload mechanism.
We will have a MR job that will load the table and create HFiles and then using a bulkload we will load those HFiles into a new table. The tool will also allow specifying start and stop row, if the user doesn't want to copy the whole table.
