hi, I have some XML files with a structure like this: <document>
<header>some text</header> <record>record 1</record> <record>record 2</record> .... <record>record N</record> <document> Where the info in the header is necessary for processing the records. By using Mahou's XmlInputFormat I'm able to rescue every <record> but not the info in the header, an option is not to split the file and process it as a whole in the mapper, but sometimes the files are over 200MB and I belive it would not be very efficient.So if any has some suggestion about how to process this kind of files (the use can apply to any kind of files), I would appreciate it! PS: sorry for the duplicate email but I believe this is the correct list to ask the question, not common-user. thanks -- Alejandro Montenegro del Pino. Viña del Mar - Chile phone: (+56) 9-68358690
