Get output from scans in hbase shell

Question

Is there any way I can output the results from a scan in the hbase shell to a file? I\'m assuming this is easy but I haven\'t been able to find anything in the documentation

Answer 1

You can also use here strings too (if your shell supports them):

$ hbase shell <<< "scan 'sometable'" > myoutput.txt

Above I'm doing this in Bash on a Linux system, for example.
