> Add support that you can combine some columns from the TSV with either a given separator, no separator, or with a custom row key generator class. Syntax could be:
> {code}
> -Dimporttsv.columns=HBASE_ROW_KEY_1,HBASE_ROW_KEY_2,cf1:col1,cf2:col3,HBASE_ROW_KEY_3
> -Dimporttsv.rowkey.separator="-"
> {code}
> Another option of course is using the custom mapper class and handle this there, but this also seems like a nice to have option, probably often covering the 80% this sort of thing is needed.
