When you refer to "filesystem," do you mean HDFS? It's very common to store lots of text files in HDFS and run multiple jobs to process / learn about those text files. As for XML support, you can use Java libraries (or Python libraries if you're using Hadoop streaming) to parse the XML; Hadoop itself doesn't have much XML support. I hope this answers your question.
