title: How to print a hbase table to a tab separated text file
body: <p>I am trying to find a way to read an hbase query result into a tab separated text file.</p>
  
  <p>Structure of hbase table <code>people</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>12 column-name=name;value=John Smith
  10 column-name=name;value=Jack Johnson
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to output it in a text file which is created like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>- 12(tab)John Smith
  - 10(tab)Jack Johnson
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there any tool available for this, like the export is available for outputting hbase to hdfs?</p>
