Create an InputFormat for reading lines of text as Java Strings
---------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-3566
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3566
Project: Hadoop Core
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: mapred
Reporter: Tom White
Assignee: Tom White
Such a StringInputFormat would be like TextInputFormat but with input types of
Long and String, rather than LongWritable and Text. This would allow users to
write MapReduce programs that used only Java native types (i.e. no Writables).
This is currently not possible to write without changes to Hadoop due to a
limitation in the RecordReader interface explained here:
