Runping Qi commented on HADOOP-759:
-----------------------------------

The case at my hand is a bit different. We have a file consisting of a sequence 
of records, separated by LF '\n':
REC1\nREC2\n...

And it is possible that some records may contain '\r'. 
Thus, it is wrong to interpret '\r' as a line breaker.


> TextInputFormat should allow different treatment on carriage return char '\r'

> The current implementation treat '\r' and '\n' both as line breakers. 
> However, in some cases, it is desiable to strictly use '\n' as the solely 
> line breaker and treat '\r' as a part of data in a line. 
> One way to do this is to make readline function as a member function so that 
> the user can create a subclass to overwrite the function with the desired 
> behavior.
