Matt Lavin created MAPREDUCE-4791: ------------------------------------- Summary: Javadoc for KeyValueTextInputFormat should include default separator and how to change it Key: MAPREDUCE-4791 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-4791 Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce Issue Type: Improvement Components: documentation Affects Versions: 1.1.0 Reporter: Matt Lavin Priority: Minor
The javadoc for KeyValueTextInputFormat says "Each line is divided into key and value parts by a separator byte" but it doesn't say what the separator byte is or how to change it. After some exploration I noticed that the default is the Tab character and that the value can be changed by the JobConf value "key.value.separator.in.input.line" -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
