Dear all, I have developed several custom input formats (e.g. for the Bitcoin blockchain) including a HiveSerde, which are open source. I plan to develop for my HadoopOffice inputformat also a HiveSerde, but I wonder if I should continue to use mapred.* apis or if i should use mapreduce.*
My inputformats support both APIs, but it seems that Hive is one of the last (please correct me here) to use the mapred.* API Personally, i have no preference, since I support both. Thank you. All the best
