Streaming command should be able to take its input from a "file", rather then from stdin ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-2235 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2235 Project: Hadoop Issue Type: Improvement Components: contrib/streaming Reporter: arkady borkovsky In some cases, especially when a streaming command is a 3rd party or legacy application, it is impossible of inconvenient to make it take its input from stdin. The command may require that the input file name is specified as a command line option, or the input file name is hard coded. The streaming infrastructure should allow to specify a name that can be used in open() to create an input stream equivalent to what would be fed to a streaming command as stdin by default. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
