Is not Hadoop Streaming part of Hadoop MapReduce product?
Streaming is currently in contrib not in the core.
I'm just suggesting we use consistent, accurate and descriptive
terminology within the core. These classes to not read nor generate
lines. They do facilitate interoperability with other line-based tools
like TextInputFormat and TextOutputFormat.
And are not the classes in question supposed to be referred to by "naive
users" on the Hadoop Streaming command line?
I don't think we should name core classes to make the streaming command
line more intuitive. If all else were equal, sure, that's a good thing,
but, core classes should be named as consistently, accurately and
descriptively as possible. If streaming's command line is confusing,
then that should be fixed in streaming, no?
