Non utf-8 chars in input

[Ajay Srivastava]

Hi,

I am using default inputFormat class for reading input from text files but the 
input file has some non utf-8 characters.
I guess that TextInputFormat class is default inputFormat class and it replaces 
these non utf-8 chars by "\uFFFD". If I do not want this behavior and need 
actual char in my mapper what should be the correct inputFormat class ?
