Nick Dimiduk commented on HBASE-8593:
-------------------------------------

I want to extend the standard tools with transformation operations -- the job is iterating the entier dataset anyway, they should be able to transform, filter, &c in the process. We already sort of half support this kind of feature with things like column renames; it should be extended to the general case.

> 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.
