Hbase mapside join- One of the tables is not getting read? read from hbase and right result into hbase - hadoop

Question

I am trying to do mapside join of two tables located in Hbase. My aim is to keep record of the small table in hashmap and compare with the big table, and once matched, write record in a table in hbase again. I wrote the similar code for join operation using both Mapper and Reducer and it worked well and both tables are scanned in mapper class. But since reduce side join is not efficient at all, I want to join the tables in mapper side only. In the following code "commented if block" is just to see that it returns false always and first table (small one) is not getting read. Any hints helps are appreciated. I am using sandbox of HDP.

By reading your problem statement I believe you have got some wrong idea about uses of Multiple HBase table input.
I suggest you load small table in a HashMap, in setup method of mapper class. Then use map only job on big table, in map method you can fetch corresponding values from the HashMap which you loaded earlier.
Let me know how this works out.
