Ravi Gummadi commented on MAPREDUCE-815:
----------------------------------------

This could have something like

  public class AvroInputFormat extends
    FileInputFormat<AvroReflectSerializable, AvroReflectSerializable> {

  @Override
  public RecordReader<AvroReflectSerializable, AvroReflectSerializable> 
    createRecordReader(InputSplit split,
                       TaskAttemptContext context) {
    return new AvroRecordReader();
  }
//...
}



and 

public class AvroRecordReader extends
    RecordReader<AvroReflectSerializable, AvroReflectSerializable> {
//implements the methods of RecordReader for KEY and VALUE of avro types
}



Does this look fine ?

> MapReduce needs AvroInputFormat similar to other InputFormats like 
> TextInputFormat to be able to use avro serialization in hadoop. Similarly 
> AvroOutputFormat is needed.
