>             Project: HBase
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>          Components: mapreduce
>    Affects Versions: 0.90.3
>         Environment: HBase-0.90.3. OS, hardware specs not relevant.
>            Reporter: Edward Choi
>            Priority: Minor

> Currently, org.apache.hadoop.hbase.mapreduce.TableMapReduceUtil.initTableMapperJob() forces any Hbase job to use the default TableInputFormat.class as the job's input format class.
> "job.setInputFormatClass(TableInputFormat.class);" ==> This line is included in initTableMapperJob().
> This restriction causes users to modify initTableMapperJob() in addition to implementing their own TableInputFormat. 
> It would be nicer if users can use custom TableInputFormats without additionally tampering with HBase source code.
