0.20.2 does not have it. You can pull the implementation from 0.21.0 and use it from within your packages if you require it, though. There should be no problems in doing it. Here's the file from the 0.21 branch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/hadoop/mapreduce/tags/release-0.21.0/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/mapreduce/lib/input/NLineInputFormat.java?view=co -- Harsh J www.harshj.com
