Christopher Auston created HADOOP-10138: -------------------------------------------
Summary: Support custom record separator with streaming Key: HADOOP-10138 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10138 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Christopher Auston Priority: Minor We store XML documents in sequence files as values. The values may contain newlines. It is useful to have hadoop-streaming output a zero-byte instead of a newline to delimit key-value boundaries. The mapping script can then find the key-value pairs unambiguously by looking for zero-bytes. I find this really useful so I can use a ruby script for quick adhoc queries. I have a patch with unit test that I will attach. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1#6144)
