Hi Liz, lets say we inserted data in a table with initial import, that looks like this in hbase shell
1 column=pay:amount, timestamp=1485129654025, value=4.99 1 column=pay:customer_id, timestamp=1485129654025, value=1 1 column=pay:last_update, timestamp=1485129654025, value=2017-01-23 05:29:09.0 1 column=pay:payment_date, timestamp=1485129654025, value=2005-05-25 11:30:37.0 1 column=pay:rental_id, timestamp=1485129654025, value=573 1 column=pay:staff_id, timestamp=1485129654025, value=1 10 column=pay:amount, timestamp=1485129504390, value=5.99 10 column=pay:customer_id, timestamp=1485129504390, value=1 10 column=pay:last_update, timestamp=1485129504390, value=2006-02-15 22:12:30.0 10 column=pay:payment_date, timestamp=1485129504390, value=2005-07-08 03:17:05.0 10 column=pay:rental_id, timestamp=1485129504390, value=4526 10 column=pay:staff_id, timestamp=1485129504390, value=2 now assume that in source rental_id becomes NULL for rowkey "1", and then we are doing incremental import into HBase. With current import the final HBase data after incremental import will look like this. 1 column=pay:amount, timestamp=1485129654025, value=4.99 1 column=pay:customer_id, timestamp=1485129654025, value=1 1 column=pay:last_update, timestamp=1485129654025, value=2017-02-05 05:29:09.0 1 column=pay:payment_date, timestamp=1485129654025, value=2005-05-25 11:30:37.0 1 column=pay:rental_id, timestamp=1485129654025, value=573 1 column=pay:staff_id, timestamp=1485129654025, value=1 10 column=pay:amount, timestamp=1485129504390, value=5.99 10 column=pay:customer_id, timestamp=1485129504390, value=1 10 column=pay:last_update, timestamp=1485129504390, value=2017-02-05 05:12:30.0 10 column=pay:payment_date, timestamp=1485129504390, value=2005-07-08 03:17:05.0 10 column=pay:rental_id, timestamp=1485129504390, value=126 10 column=pay:staff_id, timestamp=1485129504390, value=2 As source column "rental_id" becomes NULL for rowkey "1", the final HBase should not have the "rental_id" for this rowkey "1". I am expecting below data for these rowkeys. 1 column=pay:amount, timestamp=1485129654025, value=4.99 1 column=pay:customer_id, timestamp=1485129654025, value=1 1 column=pay:last_update, timestamp=1485129654025, value=2017-02-05 05:29:09.0 1 column=pay:payment_date, timestamp=1485129654025, value=2005-05-25 11:30:37.0 1 column=pay:staff_id, timestamp=1485129654025, value=1 10 column=pay:amount, timestamp=1485129504390, value=5.99 10 column=pay:customer_id, timestamp=1485129504390, value=1 10 column=pay:last_update, timestamp=1485129504390, value=2017-02-05 05:12:30.0 10 column=pay:payment_date, timestamp=1485129504390, value=2005-07-08 03:17:05.0 10 column=pay:rental_id, timestamp=1485129504390, value=126 10 column=pay:staff_id, timestamp=1485129504390, value=2 Please let me know if anything required further.
