Pete Wyckoff commented on HADOOP-3787:
--------------------------------------

bq. flat files with a suitable InputFormat (which would need to be written), 

See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-111. It provides a file format 
with fixed sized blocks that can be compressed and written in python, perl, C++ 
and Java. This allows a logging framework to write directly to a format that is 
splittable.  The records themselves need not be thrift.





> Add serialization for Thrift

> Thrift (http://incubator.apache.org/thrift/) is cross-language serialization 
> and RPC framework. This issue is to write a ThriftSerialization to support 
> using Thrift types in MapReduce programs, including an example program. This 
> should probably go into contrib.
