> like textinputformat - looking for a concrete implementation to read binary
> records from a flat file (that may be compressed).
> it's assumed that hadoop can't split such a file. so the inputformat can set
> splittable to false.
> tricky aspects are:
> - how to know what class the file contains (has to be in a configuration
> somewhere).
> - how to determine EOF (would be nice if hadoop can determine EOF and not
> have the deserializer throw an exception (which is hard to distinguish from
> a exception due to corruptions?)). this is easy for non-compressed streams -
> for compressed streams - DecompressorStream has a useful looking
> getAvailable() call - except the class is marked package private.
