This is a random data generator tool for HBase tables leveraging Hbase bulk load.
It can create pre-splited HBase table and the generated data is *uniformly distributed* to all the regions of the table.

### Specifying trackers during snapshot recovery

It's also possible to specify a given store file tracking implementation when recovering a snapshot
using the _CLONE_SFT_ option of _clone_snasphot_ command. This is useful when recovering old
snapshots, taken prior to a change in the global configuration, or if the snapshot has been
imported from a different cluster that had a different store file tracking setting.
Because snapshots preserve table and colum family descriptors, a simple restore would reload
the original configuration, requiring the additional steps described above to convert the
table/column family to the desired tracker implementation.
An example of how to use _clone_snapshot_ to specify the *FILE* tracker implementation
is shown below:

----
clone_snapshot 'snapshotName', 'namespace:tableName', {CLONE_SFT=>'FILE'}
----

NOTE: The option to specify the tracker during snapshot recovery is only available for the
_clone_snapshot_ command. The _restore_snapshot_ command does not support this parameter.
