Philip Zeyliger commented on MAPREDUCE-157:
-------------------------------------------

Would this be a good place to try the Avro serialization format in Hadoop 
proper?  If text-formatting is desired, AVRO-50 has a text format for Avro, 
which is JSON already.  So you'd basically be implementing the same thing, but 
with the extra context of an Avro schema.

> Currently, parsing the job history logs with external tools is very difficult 
> because of the format. The most critical problem is that newlines aren't 
> escaped in the strings. That makes using tools like grep, sed, and awk very 
> tricky.
