Hi Simon,
You need to implement your custom PathFilter derivative class, and
then set it via your {File}InputFormat class using setInputPathFilter:
http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/current/api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/FileInputFormat.html#setInputPathFilter(org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobConf,%20java.lang.Class)
(TextInputFormat is a derivative of FileInputFormat, and hence has the
same method.)
HTH.
