Hello,

        I find my question in the Archives 
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01750.html

   which is how to use a my binary files with my specific buffer protocol to 
with the InputFormat. 

  The answer is suggesting some base64 conversion, which I think eliminate the 
benefits of using Binary files. 

       If I decided to write my own InputFormat that defines Splits based on my 
binary protocol and a recordReader also on my binary protocol. 

   Will that interfere with the streaming stuff ? or it is doable ?

Thank you,
Maha
