[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-3960) Add dump/load to the HBase shell

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

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3960?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13444291#comment-13444291 ] 

Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-3960:
--------------------------------------

Both of these would be M/R jobs. Should we generally allow the shell to trigger M/R jobs?

> That would be a real nice feature though, imagine going to the shell,

> > load from outfile/hdfs -- could power bulk uploader
> Further discussion suggested that for large tables, the commands should launch a MR job (assuming a JobTracker is available).
