Description

Currently when using the ImportTsv tool, the name of the mapreduce job is hard coded and cannot be change (importtsv_tableName)
it would be nice if this was the default, but could be change.
an idea is:
bin/hbase org.apache.hadoop.hbase.mapreduce.ImportTsv -Dimporttsv.columns=a,b,c -Dmapred.job.name=newJobName <tablename> <hdfs-inputdir>
