Description

org.apache.hadoop.hbase.mapreduce.Export should allow user to specify a subset of rows.

This capability would help develop solution for problem which produces unwanted rows (in .META. table e.g.) that must be deleted.
One such case is https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3251
We can export the dangling row(s) from .META., delete it and later import the row(s) to (another) hbase instance.
