The goal here is to run rmr mapreduce jobs over HBASE data, of course. It looks like there is some ancient (by current standards) work that could be helpful to implement this, documented [here](http://d.hatena.ne.jp/wanpark/20081113/1226555456). There is currently no way to pass all the needed options to mapreduce, but that could be fixed. On the positive side the JSON format option should go into rmr without much if any additional parsing than is already in place. Of course the devil is in the details.
