Hey, If you don't want to wait for the release, you could try using the latest version of Cloudera's Distribution for Hadoop (see http://www.cloudera.com/hadoop), which is based off of the 0.18.3 release of Apache Hadoop but has the HADOOP-1722 patch backported (see http://www.cloudera.com/hadoop-manifest for the detailed manifest). We have several customers processing binary data with Hadoop Streaming using our distribution.
