title: Hadoop - Writing to HBase directly from the Mapper
body: <p>I have a haddop job that its output should be written to HBase. I do not really needs reducer, the kind of row I would like to insert is determined in the Mapper. </p>
  
  <p>How can I use TableOutputFormat to achieve this? From all the examples I have seen the assumption is that the reducer is the one creating the Put, and that TableMapper is just for reading from HBase table.</p>
  
  <p>In my case the input is HDFS the output is Put to specific table, I cannot find anything in TableMapReduceUtil that can help me with that either.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any example out there that can help me with that?</p>
  
  <p>BTW, I am using the new Hadoop API</p>
