--------------------------------------
Summary: An implementation of RecordReader/FileInputFormat for
generic binary data
Key: MAPREDUCE-6461
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-6461
Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
Issue Type: Wish
Components: mrv2
Reporter: Dustin Cote
Priority: Minor
It would be nice to have a RecordReader implementation designed for binary data
for ETL processing (especially for mainframe encodings like EBCDIC).
Currently, we have:
http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/FixedLengthInputFormat.html
This is great for fix length fields, but it would be even better if we could
delimit records by a byte string dynamically.
