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.

You can retrieve data from the HBase table using the get() method of the HTable class. This method extracts a cell from a given row. It requires a Get class object as parameter.
To access HBase data sources, you must define a connection by using the properties in the Connection section on the Properties page. One instance of HBase connector is always linked with one table (for example, with a single connector instance you can read or write data to a single HBase table).
To access the HBase shell, you have to navigate to the HBase home folder. You can start the HBase interactive shell using “hbase shell” command as shown below. If you have successfully installed HBase in your system, then it gives you the HBase shell prompt as shown below.
I know that this post is quite old but i was searching something about HBase myself and came across with it.
Well i don't know if this is the best way to do it, but you can definitely use the scripting option HBase gives you. Just open a shell (preferably go to the directory bin of HBase) and run
echo "scan 'foo'" | ./hbase shell > myText where foo is the name of the table you want to scan. If you then open myText you will see the results in there. Hope i helped!
