Hi, I am thinking to write some mapper to do conversion of mainframe files to ascii format and contribute back.
And before even i do something i wanted to confirm from you guys the following - Do we already have some mapreduce library doing the same work ? - Is there anything in Hadoop which makes such kind of conversion not possible , so that i dont end up spending time on something which cannot be done I am not mainframe guy so wanted to ask upfront. Here is what in my mind till now In Oracle JDK following are supported encodings [1] , i plan to use already existing libraries such as [2] or [3] to do the conversion. Thank you for your time and guidance.
